Celtic supporters debuted a brilliant new chant for James Forrest on Wednesday evening at Pittodrie.
The veteran winger started and put in a man-of-the-match display as his side emerged emphatic 5-1 victors over Aberdeen.
Although he is still in search of that elusive goal that would make it 16 consecutive seasons in which he has scored for Celtic, Forrest set up two in the northeast as he rolled back the years.

Towards the end of the match, the travelling fans, who were in fine voice throughout the 90 minutes, started singing a new chant for Forrest, inspired by Lisbon Lion Jimmy Johnstone.
'Jamesy, oh James Forrest, Jamesy Forrest on the wing!' are the simple lyrics to the song inspired by one of the greatest ever Celts.

Now the most decorated player in Celtic's history, Forrest is an undoubted modern-day legend.
He has two games to get his goal, although Brendan Rodgers isn't entirely concerned about the record, as the 33-year-old is continually performing regardless: "He was so good," the manager said of Forrest post-match on Wednesday.
"He doesn't have to score, it would be great if he does. He's definitely trying, he's getting into some great areas.
He was unfortunate in the first half, he chopped inside with his left foot. But, no, his performance level's really, really high. And if it comes, great.
"If it doesn't, he's still performing and contributing for the team."
