Callum McGregor triumphs at Celtic’s POTY Awards, James Forrest Tops our Poll

CALLUM McGREGOR last night picked up the prestigious award as Celtic’s Player of the Year, as voted by Celtic Supporters and also won the Players Player of the Year Award as voted by his Celtic teammates.

Kris Ajer was named as the Young Player of the Year, while Scott Brown – who won the main award last year – won Goal of the Season.

Young Mikey Johnston picked up the award for the Academy Player of the Year.

Keeva Keenan was named as Celtic Women’s Player of the Year and the club’s Special Recognition Award went to former Celtic employee Angie Thomson who passed away earlier this month.

JAMES FORREST SCOOPS THE CELTIC STAR PLAYER OF THE YEAR AWARD

One player who perhaps can feel rather unlucky not to have received an award last night was James Forrest. The Celtic Star started our own poll a few weeks after the club canvassed for votes for their POTY awards and while Callum McGregor topped that poll in later one run by The Celtic Star James Forrest was the clear winner.

In The Celtic Star poll 2617 supporters cast their vote (you can vote only once on our polls, unlike some other online polls) and the results were as follows…

WHO IS YOUR CHOICE FOR THE CELTIC STAR’S PLAYER OF THE YEAR 2019?

JAMES FORREST – 1446 VOTES (55%)

CALLUM McGREGOR – 797 VOTES (30%)

KRISTOFFER AJER – 305 VOTES (12%)

So congratulations to James Forrest – The Celtic Star’s Player of the Year for 2018-19 season.

Vote Now on Re-naming the North Stand and whether Celtic’s No5 jersey should be retired

The North Stand at Celtic Park should, we believe be renamed in Billy McNeill’s honour. There appear to be three options for this and we’d like you to express your opinion.

Re-name the North Stand the HAIL CESAR STAND or call it THE BILLY McNEILL STAND or do nothing and keep it as it is the NORTH STAND.

Please vote in our Poll below and share if possible so that as many Celtic supporters as possible vote. You can vote only once but can check back to see how the voting is going.

Should the North Stand at Celtic Park be re-named in tribute to Celtic legend Billy McNeill?

And on the matter of retiring the No.5 jersey do you think that this should be done to honour Cesar’s memory or should it continue to inspire future Celtic defenders to walk in the footsteps of our Greatest Ever Captain?

Should Celtic retire the No.5 jersey to honour Billy McNeill?
