Brendan Rodgers showers praise on Celtic winger James Forrest

Brendan Rodgers has nothing but admiration for Celtic winger James Forrest who was simply brilliant against St Johnstone last week.

The 27-year-old scored four goals as Celtic managed a 6-0 win in their last Championship game. Forrest has been outstanding this season, and Rodgers has hailed him as a wonderful professional.

Forrest is a product of the Celtic academy. He made his senior debut in 2010 after graduating from the youth academy. He has progressed really well under Brendan Rodgers. The last season was his best, as he managed 17 goals in all competitions.

Rodgers is particularly impressed with how he keeps himself fit.
