Ange Postecoglou hailed James Forrest as a Celtic legend after he racked up 100 goals for the club in a 6-1 rout of Hibs.
The Parkhead winger’s hat-trick, along with Giorgos Giakoumakis ’ double and a Daizen Maeda strike, moved the Hoops five points clear of Rangers at the top of the Premiership. It was Forrest’s first start of the campaign and Postecoglou was delighted with his display.
Having already amassed 20 trophies for the club, he's now hit a ton of goals. And his manager insists he’s up there with Celtic’s all-time greats. When asked if Forrest stands alongside Hoops legends, Postecoglou said: “Absolutely. Daizen didn’t score for two games and everyone was on his back. So for James to last as long as he has is testament to his character. He’s humble but still determined to be the best he can be here. It’s great for him because he’s joined an elite club today, 100 goals is fantastic.
