Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes believes James Forrest “could play in the Premier League”, with the Celtic winger dazzling the Scottish Premiership this season. Forrest has scored and created 11 goals in 12 league appearances, contributing 22 goals in all competitions and could be key in Celtic’s Betfred Cup final against Aberdeen on Sunday.
The 27-year-old played 90 minutes in September’s League Cup quarter-final win over St Johnstone and October’s thrashing against Heart of Midlothian in the semis. It would be a big shock if he were to be left out of the final at Hampden Park, and McInnes is fearful of what could ensue for his side if he does indeed feature.
