James Forrest has revealed who his Celtic Player Of The Year vote will be going to.
Speaking to the Celtic View podcast, Forrest explained how a brilliant campaign has made the decision a tough one. “It’s tough because we’ve had a lot of good results in big games, and the European campaign was a success even though the way it finished wasn’t the way we wanted,” the winger said.
“The big one was the Lazio away game. The club had never won before in Italy, and Lazio were doing well in their league, so that was a big moment,” Forrest continued. “And winning the League Cup final in the way that we did, which was maybe different from the previous couple of years, was a really good moment this season. There has been so many this season.”
Of all the players, one has stood out in the eyes of many scouts and the same star has caught James’ eye too: “There are a lot of players who’ve had a really good season, but I think I’d go for Odsonne. The goals he’s scored and the way he’s played for being such a young age, I’d vote for him. He’s really laid-back and chilled as well, but he’s come up with really big goal and big performances, and it’s great to have him in the team.”
