James Forrest Unveils Secret Celtic Exit Plot Crafted by Scott Brown – and the Unfinished Business Keeping Him Tied to Parkhead!
James Forrest revealed that his former teammate, Scott Brown, tried to tempt him to join Ayr United before he signed his recent contract extension with Celtic. Despite Brown’s efforts, Forrest declined, stating that he still has unfinished business at Parkhead. One of his goals is to match the remarkable achievement of Celtic legends Paul McStay and Jimmy McGrory, who scored in 16 consecutive seasons for the club. Forrest is determined to hit that milestone by scoring this season, though he remains focused on helping the team, rather than chasing personal stats.
Forrest also reflected on his physical condition, noting that despite being 33, his speed and endurance are still strong, and he continues to contribute to Celtic’s success. He remains open to playing as long as he feels capable, citing players like Aiden McGeady, who remained sharp into his mid-30s. “As long as I’m feeling good and contributing, I want to keep going,” Forrest said, showing his commitment to Celtic and his desire to achieve more at Parkhead.
