James Forrest given no special Celtic treatment by Brendan Rodgers as he plays down 'head start' on teammates

James Forrest knows Brendan Rodgers got the best out of him last time round when the manager gave his Celtic career a turbo boost.

But the Hoops ace reckons he still has to prove himself all over again to the returning boss. Forrest is among the most decorated Parkhead stars ever with an incredible 22 medals in a glittering career at the club.

And he was flying under Rodgers as he won back-to-back Trebles and then went on to secure a stunning triple of his own with a clean sweep of individual awards in 2019.

Not bad for a lad who looked to be on his way out of his boyhood club when Rodgers first marched in the door. Forrest won over the manager back then to become one of his main men – but the wide man insisted he’ll have to win Rodgers over all over again now the Northern Irishman is back.
