Celtic Fans Honour James Forrest with Special Tribute as He Makes History
James Forrest received a heartfelt tribute from Celtic supporters this afternoon, with the Green Brigade unveiling a striking tifo at Celtic Park to commemorate his remarkable career. With 26 major honours to his name, Forrest is now the most decorated player in Celtic’s history.
The day was already momentous as Celtic lifted the league trophy, but Forrest added an emotional highlight by netting a dramatic last-minute equaliser in a 1-1 draw against St Mirren. It was his first goal of the season and extended his incredible record of scoring in 16 consecutive campaigns for the Hoops.
Jonah Ayunga had earlier given St Mirren the lead, but Forrest’s late goal ensured the celebrations remained in full swing. The crowd erupted as he scored, fully aware of the significance of the moment for one of the club’s most loyal servants.
Having made his debut in the 2009–10 season, Forrest has since surpassed 100 goals in over 500 appearances for Celtic. His latest achievement sees him eclipse Bobby Lennox as the club’s most decorated player.
The Green Brigade’s tribute reflected the deep admiration and gratitude Celtic fans have for Forrest. With the Scottish Cup final against Aberdeen still to come, his experience and leadership could prove vital as Celtic aims to complete a domestic treble.
