CELTIC fans travelling to Norwich for the Adam Drury testimonial match at Carrow Road this Tuesday, May 22, are urged not to take flares or any other pyrotechnics into the ground.

Forrest fired up for season 2012/13 campaign

Thu, 17 May 2012 15:33:00 +0100

ONE of the success stories in a Celtic season crammed with success stories was that of James Forrest, who further cemented his place in the first team with a string of riveting performances that had supporters on their feet and open-mouthed in acclaim of the young midfielder.

His hopes of capping everything off by taking part in the climax to the season were dashed when injury robbed him of the on-field enjoyment of a championship run-in as the Celts ended the campaign in style.

However, he hasn’t been lying back on the treatment table idly watching the world go by as, ironically, the last few weeks have been as busy as ever for the Celt as he racked up a raft of Young Player of the Years awards in a packed schedule of events.
