Kilmarnock defender raves about Celtic’s James Forrest

Scottish defender Stephen O’Donnell has heaped praise on his compatriot James Forrest.

The Kilmarnock defender claimed that he is delighted to see the Celtic winger do so well. Forrest scored four goals against St. Johnstone last week.

O’Donnell has played with Forrest in the national team setup as well as in the youth levels. The Kilmarnock defender was a part of the Celtic U19s.

The 26-year-old revealed that Forrest’s performances in the youth levels convinced him that the Celtic winger would go on to be a top quality player. He also maintained that he won’t be jealous if Forrest gets the nod ahead of him in the national team.
