EVERGREEN FORREST INSPIRED BY '67 LIONS IN HUNT FOR 27

THE skies over Lisbon may be grey but James Forrest is still basking in the glow of Celtic's greatest triumph.

The Hoops are training just yards from the Estadio Nacional, the stadium where Billy McNeill made history in 1967 by lifting the European Cup.

For Forrest, it's a powerful reminder of Celtic's past and his place in it, as well as motivation for the challenges ahead.

Now into his 17th preseason, the winger is chasing a 27th major honour. No modern-day Celt has won more, and few embody the club's identity like him.
