BBC pundit trolls Celtic key player on Twitter during win against Zenit
BBC Sport Scotland pundit Tam McManus has taken to Twitter to troll Celtic star James Forrest for looking as though he is wearing boys’ shorts in the 1-0 Europa League win against Zenit St Petersburg on Thursday night.
Forrest, 26, was in fine form against the Russians at Parkhead, but former Hibernian player McManus seemed distracted by the wingers’ tight shorts rather than his display.
McManus suggested that the Scotland international had been working on his leg muscles in the gym on his personal Twitter account during the game.
“Has James Forrest been squatting 200kg or has he got small boys’ shorts on,” he said.
Forrest has arguably been Celtic’s best player this season and on Thursday night it was no different for the attacker as he played a crucial role in a fine performance by the Scottish champions.
The 26-year-old key player has made 44 appearances in all competitions for the Bhoys this term, scoring a stunning 16 goals in the process and supplying three assists.
While the likes of Scott Sinclair and Moussa Dembele have not seen themselves reach the heights of last season when Celtic won the domestic treble with ease, Forrest has been able to force himself into the limelight with brilliant performance after brilliant performance.
Up next for Brendan Rodgers’ side is a clash against St Johnstone in the Scottish Premiership before they travel to Russia to play Zenit in the second leg.
