Alan Forrest in Celtic one liner to brother James as Hearts winger plans DVD delivery of Parkhead upset

Alan Forrest reckons he’s got big brother James’ Christmas sorted - a DVD of Hearts’ first league win at Celtic Park in 16 years.

The Celtic winger got a front row view of his sibling’s role in the Jambos’ shock 2-0 win last weekend as he sat among the home subs before a late cameo which failed to provide a late twist.

With an Edinburgh derby up on Wednesday followed by Ross County and Livingston the chance is there to open a gap and cement their place in behind the Old Firm.
