Rodgers hails ‘brilliant’ Forrest after rout of Motherwell

BRENDAN RODGERS saluted “brilliant” James Forrest who reached double figures in goals for the first time at Celtic with a brace in the 5-1 win over Motherwell on Saturday.

Odsonne Edouard, the 19-year-old striker on loan from Paris St Germain, captured the headlines in a Premiership rout with a stunning hat-trick in what was only his third start for the Hoops.

Forrest came on as part of a double substitution along with Callum McGregor in the 67th minute after Well replacement Elliott Frear had pulled a goal back.
