Quite remarkable to watch him in so much space and going straight for players like Alaba and succeeding.

Even more remarkable to see him put two genuine chances right on a plate with inch perfect balls.

An immense contribution.

Best performance I can remember from him. Wish he could do it more regular though.

His tracking back was as good as his attacking last night. Excellent contribution.

His pause to allow Armstrong to get in to position for the early chance was impressive. Cool head in opening minutes of such a big game.

As good as the finish is from McGregor, the pass from Forrest is top class :worthy:

We wouldn't be where we are in this competition if it wasn't for James Forrest.

Very underrated player. Excellent last night defensively and offensively.

Played well but his final ball is what let's him down. Gets that and then he's unplayable.
You mean like the final ball he put on Armstrong's foot (that was as good a cross as Tierney's at Pittodrie), or the one he put on Dembele's head or the one he put through to McGregor with the outside of his foot?

His final ball was superb tonight.
He over ran the ball in the 2nd half and there were carrots around me moaning. Doesn't matter what he does in a game some folk just want to see the faults.
There was a guy in front of me that never applauded anything he did. He went on a great run at one point and someone said "Forrest has been brilliant" and they guy turned round with his arms folded and said "I just don't rate him".

Thought he was very impressive last night and has been throughout this season. His development, like a few others in the team, has been remarkable under Rodgers.

I find him very frustrating at times but his performance last night was immense.
Anyone who thinks otherwise just don,t like him and never will. MOM for me

Tierney didn't in a few as well. Bizarre. They were the best players on the park. And I include the Bayern players in that.

Aye, the "I don't rate him although I'll grudgingly admit he played well in this one game" pish.

How many "one games" does there need to be before they admit they might have been wrong? :lol:

My brother couldn't make the game but watched on the TV, sent me a txt at full time "Hate to say it but Forrest was brilliant" :brickwall:

My brother is a dick though.

Maybe it's the other 6 in between that are the issue? :lol:

He has been consistently better in the CL (qualifiers and groups) than the SPL probably. May be a reason? More space? More protection from refs? :ponder:

Consistency is one thing, and it could just as easily be levelled at any wide player on our books. But there have been people this season who still don't think Forrest is a decent footballer.

There was two I noticed when reading through that thread. :lol:

Anyone who doesn't have him in their top 3 is at it. He was our best player by a country mile last night, it wasn't even close. That's not putting others down as they played well, but Forrest was that good.

I've never been a fan of Forrest for a number of reasons but like every Celtic supporter should, I've enjoyed the good games he's turned in. He's been better than Roberts this season and should have played ahead of him in some games where he's been left on the bench. He's had reason to feel aggrieved but when called upon, has performed and scored goals. Every now and then we have a player who really splits fan opinion big time and Forrest is one of them.

Last night he was simply brilliant. His admirers are out in considerable force on here and after a performance like that, so they should be. I'll be happy if they have plenty more to shout about in the coming months.
