Celtic have an important run of games coming up after the international break but now they know they will be without first team star James Forrest.

The fixture list has a Glasgow Derby, games against Milan, Prague, Aberdeen and Hibs over three competitions. James will not be a part of the squad for any of these after it was revealed by SunSport the player will be out until late November.

James went off injured against Riga in a Europa League qualifier and has been out since. The bhoys have managed to keep their winning run going in his absence but there’s no doubt he will be a miss in the coming weeks. Some fans may disagree but they would be absolutely wrong.

We wish the player as speedy a recovery as possible. Jeremie Frimpong will likely get an extended run of games but the Celtic manager will have to watch overexposure doesn’t hurt the youngster.
