James Forrest Uses His Head To Give Celts Paradise Victory

JAMES Forrest has made over 200 appearances for Celtic and netted 38 goals, including eight this season, but in Saturday’s 3-1 win over Kilmarnock, the winger scored a header for the first time in his professional career.

The Hoops defeated the Ayrshire team to extend their unbeaten domestic run to a staggering 39 games, with Forrest scoring Celtic’s third and final goal of the afternoon, adding to strikes by Stuart Armstrong and Scott Sinclair.

His headed goal came on 75 minutes, just four minutes after Sinclair had restored Celtic’s lead, with Kilmarnock having cancelled out Armstrong’s first-half opener with an unexpected equaliser just after the hour mark. Moussa Dembele’s looping shot came back off the post and Forrest was the first to react, heading home to make it 3-1 to Brendan Rodgers’ side.
