Whatever the angle James Forrest’s opener at Easter Road will always look special.
Midway through the second half the winger created space for himself then unleashed a blockbuster shot that even the acrobatic Hibs keeper Ofir Marciano couldn’t get close to.
As the ball exploded into the net so did the emotions of the Celtic support, captured perfectly by the trusty camerawork of the Largs Brigade.

The first half had been stodgy like the pitch at Easter Road which played it’s part in halting promising moves involving Oliver Burke and Odsonne Edouard.
Willie Collum was next up to dent Burke when he refused to award a free kick or take action against Lewis Steven son when the on loan striker was tripped in full flow just outside the penalty box.
Forrest’s goal took attention away from that mistake, later on the prolific Scott Brown added another to his 2019 collection and Celtic’s place in the semi-final draw was assured.
