The inclusion of James Forrest in years gone by would have been enough to make any Celtic fan happy. The diminutive winger has been a stalwart for Celtic over the entirety of his career, and with his name still continuing to be met with good murmurs around Celtic Park, it isn’t a bad thing to see him starting.
However, with age comes replacements – and Liel Abada’s unreal form to start the season has left Celtic fans dreaming of what he will be able to do for Ange Postecoglou’s side this season. Scoring against Jablonec in the first leg, and excelling against Dundee last weekend, it was expected he would start once again.
But having not even made the substitutes bench, fans have been left wondering where their new favourite winger has gone – with many jokingly suggested he’s been sold already.
Why is Abada not playing? Is he Injured?

Abada deservedly getting a wee rest tonight I’d think.

Why would he need a rest? God he is a teenager and keeping the same team to build confidence is surely a priority. I presume he has picked up an injury?
What’s going on we hope he is not been sold onto another Club he is a breach of fresh air he has gave the team a new belief to the side and the supporter’s .
