SEASON 2023/24
JAMES FORREST TESTIMONIAL
Venue: CELTIC PARK
CELTIC 3 ATHLETIC CLUB BILBAO 2
Scorers: Hatate, Bernabeu, Turnbull; Unai Gomez, Muniain
A testimonial match for Celtic's James Forrest, who first appeared in the Hoops in 2010. Very welcome opponents to Celtic Park are Athletic Club from the Basque Country.
It was an entertaning 90 minutes with Celtic coming from behind to record a good pre-season victory. As it was pre-season, returning Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers used two different teams in each half. The first half XI lost 2-1 but the second half XI were able to turn the deficit round.
- 1st time seeing Athletic Club
- Forrest is the 11th Celtic player I've seen have a testimonial
- First Celtic game of season 2023/24 ~ My 43rd season
