Celtic return to competitive action this weekend as they take on Ross County in the Scottish Premiership. It is the Bhoys’ first league game of the brand new season and as ever on opening day when the league has been won in the previous season, the league flag will be unfurled.
Year on year the person to unfurl it alters and this time around, it has been confirmed to be James Forrest who has that duty. What the winger has given to the club throughout his career is invaluable and with his testimonial upcoming on Tuesday, unfurling the flag is yet another fitting tribute.
Over 450 appearances, 102 goals and 101 assists across 13 years, Forrest truly is a club legend. Few would be able to replicate his record of just under a goal or assist every other game and his trophy haul speaks for itself. He has more than earned the opportunity to carry out the honourable duty at the weekend.
