When James Forrest scored in the fourth minute of added time on Saturday, it ensured that the Champions would not mark Trophy Day with a defeat. But that last-gasp equaliser against St Mirren had an even greater significance, because it meant that James Forrest has now scored in 16 consecutive seasons as a Celtic, going all the way back to his debut goal in May 2010. It is another remarkable achievement by a remarkable player, and Paradise erupted to acclaim the goal, Forrest’s 109th for Celtic in 527 appearances. In terms of scoring in consecutive seasons, it puts James Forrest alongside Paul McStay and Jimmy McGrory. Only Bobby Lennox (17 seasons) and Jimmy McMeneny (18 seasons) are ahead of him now.
