James Forrest's testimonial continued to be a Hotline talking point as the minutes tick down to the real stuff starting. Arrin Geddes, Irvine, said: "It’s easy for The Green Brigade to boycott James Forrest’s testimonial when you’re paying £22 for a ticket but some of that money was going to club charities and I hope they think about that when they’re standing outside Celtic Park with their collection buckets. Maybe they should have had their protest on Saturday." Steve McSherry, Uddingston, said: "Having watched the James Forrest testimonial against Bilbao, I am happy with the squad going into the new season. I do however, predict a challenge from Aberdeen who have had a busy transfer window. Having said that, we are miles ahead of the rest and will win the league with ease. It’s Europe where we need to make our mark." Stephen Johnstone, Ardentinny, said: "James Forrest is two short of overtaking the great Lisbon Lion Bobby Lennox as the most decorated Celtic player trophy winner and James should take a leaf out of Frankie Dettori the jockey/trainer and auction them off for charity, as no point keeping them in a cupboard gathering dust."
