The James Forrest Celtic roar that shows winger's hunger for title fight

Celtic winger James Forrest displayed his desire to complete the journey of a lifetime with his Hoops side after scoring the opening goal against Motherwell on Sunday.

Forrest's strike on 40 minutes put a turgid first-half behind his side and paved the way for two more in the second half as the Steelmen chased the game.

The wide man collected the ball on the break from playmaker Callum McGregor before he faced up to Well defender Ricki Lamie and fired an effort across goal and into the net.

It was a brilliant strike and underlined Forrest's ability to score important goals as he has done in every season of Celtic 's Nine In A Row title run and in Europe too.

He and club captain Scott Brown are the only two players to have taken part in every term since the first one in 2011/12.

And the celebration afterwards showed Forrest still has the fire in his belly to make it 10 Premiership trophies when he roared as if trying to recreate the missing 60,000 Parkhead fans by himself.

The match was eventually put out of sight as the introductions of strikers Patryk Klimala and Albian Ajeti in the second half saw Neil Lennon's side dominate.

Ajeti scored his second goal since his arrival in Glasgow before Chris Jullien nabbed a third in added time.
