'GANDY CRUSH

Hoops could be heading back to Kazakhstan and Shakhtar goal has lived long in Forrest's memory

JAMES FORREST was still but a Bhoy when he enjoyed his big Champions League moment on a warm summer's evening.

Now a dozen years on, it's the lure of another Euro buzz that is keeping the Celtic veteran going in the autumn of his career.

It was back in August 2013 when a then 22-year-old Forrest rode to Celtic's rescue against Kazakh opposition.

Trailing Shakhter Karagandy 2-0 from the first leg, Neil Lennon’s Hoops battled back to level the tie thanks to Kris Commons’ screamer and poacher's finish from Georgios Samaras.
