UEFA have recognised the incredible form of James Forrest.

The winger scored twice against Kilmarnock on Saturday as Celtic destroyed the Ayrshire side with a 5-1 victory.

Scottish football may be a little off the beaten track but Forrest’s double certainly attracted attention ahead of Thursday’s Europa League clash against RB Leipzig.

N’Golo Kante of Chelsea, Arsenal’s Lucas Torreira and Bayer Leverkusen’s Kai Havertz are included alongside the Celtic star who almost single handedly dragged Scotland into the play-off places for the Nations League.

Scotland will be firmly put into the background on Thursday night as Celtic look to get the point needed to take them into the last 32 of the Europa League.

Forrest hardly needs any extra motivation for the match but after a harsh red card away to the Austrian’s he’ll be going all out to ensure that he has European football to look forward to in the new year.
