Forrest had his say on Scott Allan while launching Celtic's new European kit
Celtic winger James Forrest is looking forward to hooking up with his former Scotland Under-21 team mate Scott Allan, should, as expected, Celtic complete the deal later today.
When asked about his soon-to-be new team mate, Forrest said: “He is a really good player. He has got a lot of flair, good going forward and technically really good.
“He is a type of player Celtic look for and he will fit in well.
“Celtic are always looking to bring in top players and if we do sign him he will be looking to play and do well, and that’s what we want, competition for places.”
Much has been made this summer of Allan’s alegiance to Old Firm rivals, Rangers, however, Forrest does not believe that will be an issue once he pulls on a Celtic strip.
Forrest continued: “If he does sign, once you start playing games then everything gets forgotten about.
“I am sure the fans will be right behind him because he will be a really good player for Celtic.”
