Rodgers praised Forrest’s quality, saying: “He’s been a brilliant servant of the club. And of course, it’s probably been difficult for him the last couple of years, not playing maybe as much as he wants. But I’ve always said in terms of quality and wing-play, he’s our best winger.”
Forrest’s experience and quality will be a significant boost for Celtic as they look to defeat Rangers and take another step closer to securing the Scottish Premiership title.

In addition to Forrest’s return, Rodgers also provided updates on the fitness of other players. Callum McGregor is still being assessed, while Paulo Bernardo is still a little way off from returning. Liam Scales is doubtful for the match due to a cheekbone issue.
Overall, Forrest’s return is a significant boost for Celtic, and they will be confident of securing a positive result against Rangers. The match is shaping up to be an exciting encounter, and fans will be eagerly anticipating the outcome.
