Celtic will face La Liga side Athletic Bilbao in a testimonial match for James Forrest.
The winger is hunting down another Treble with the club he has spent his entire career with and he has still provided big moments under boss Ange Postecoglou, including a hat-trick against Hibs earlier this season. Forrest joined Celtic’s academy in 2002 and then in 2009 made himself a senior player. During his time at the Hoops he has played a huge role in delivering success, lifting 11 league titles, five Scottish cups and five League cups.
It's a game taking place on August 1 at Parkhead and also forms part of Athletic Club's 125th Anniversary celebrations. Boss Postecoglou said: “James has been a hugely important figure to Celtic across so many years, contributing massively to such a sustained period of success for the club and he is really deserving of this great honour. Although he has achieved so much he is someone who remains so humble and unassuming, continuing to quietly get on with his job and striving every day to do all he can to bring more and more success to our supporters.
