John Kennedy has confirmed to Celtsarehere.com James Forrest is back in full training and is making good progress.
The midfielder has been out since September when he was stretchered off during a European qualifier.
Celtic have really missed the natural width James gives us and we’ve not had a natural number two which has seen formation changes and players being played out of position.
It looks like we’ll have James back in time for the teams tilt at the Scottish Cup. The Hoops first game in the cup competition will be at the start of April, which gives the winger plenty of time to get back up to speed.
