Forrest, who has been with Celtic since his youth, is experiencing limited playing time, effectively relegated to the fringes of the team.

His prospects of regaining a semi-regular position in the side appear slim, a stark contrast to his earlier years at Celtic. The winger’s contract with the club extends until 2025, but in light of his current circumstances, Celtic is open to allowing him to leave.

The club’s stance is to support Forrest in seeking regular first-team football elsewhere, a move they see as beneficial for both parties.

As the transfer window nears its closure, this period emerges as a critical juncture for Forrest. A change of scenery could provide him with the much-needed regular playing time and a new set of challenges to invigorate his career.

This move, while marking the end of an era at Celtic, could be the catalyst James needs to rediscover his form and make a significant impact at a new club.
