Johan Mjallby advises Celtic deploy a ‘old school’ shock beginning to punish Rangers.
Mjallby was Neil Lennon’s assistant manager at Celtic when Forrest rose through the ranks, and he believes they realised they had a great talent on their hands.
He has been thrilled to see Forrest’s recent return to the Celtic starting XI, and he has not been surprised by his effect in the final stages of the league season.
He is sure that he is capable of making another telling contribution if he is given the nod to start on the right of the Celtic attack once again this weekend.
“It will be interesting to see if Brendan picks James Forrest again, because he’s been in such great form,” Mjallby said.
“I was here with Neil when he came through as a young player. He’s a terrific lad and it’s great to see him still performing. It’s fantastic when you look at the success he’s had over the years.
“We knew he was a player. He was sensational when he first came on the scene. He was just an old school winger who could go inside and outside. He had this fantastic speed.
“James was unfortunate with injuries at one point as it was a little stop-start for him.
“He’s low key and so modest, – he’s the perfect Celtic player in a sense. He works hard and listens to his coaches and managers, so you always know what you are going to get from him.
“It’s been great seeing him back and it is great seeing him back and with a chance of starting at Hampden again.”
