Forrest pens new Celtic deal

Celtic midfielder James Forrest has signed a new five-year contract, the club have announced.

The 19-year-old, a product of the Celtic Youth Academy, made his first-team debut against Motherwell towards the end of last season, and he scored in a 4-0 victory for the Hoops.

In total, he has made 15 first-team appearances, scoring four goals, the last of which was the opener in Celtic’s 4-0 home win over Hearts last Wednesday before he went off with a hamstring injury which rules him out of tomorrow‘s Co-operative Insurance Cup semi-final against Aberdeen at Hampden.
