Celtic have released a video clip of a post match presentation following Saturday’s 1-1 draw with St Mirren.
Having taken his honour of being the club’s most decorated played Bobby Lennox handed over a small trophy to James Forrest- not that he is short of silverware.
Lennox picked up his 25th winners medal at the 1980 Scottish Cup Final when he came off the bench to celebrate George McCluskey’s goal, an injury in pre-season meant that the Hampden appearance turned out to be his final match as a Celt.

When Celtic won the League Cup in December Forrest matched the medal tally of his fellow Ayrshire winger although with one European Cup winners medal to his name the Lennox Collection will never be surpassed.
The recent 5-0 win away to Dundee United was Forrest’s 13th SPL/SPFL title win, on Saturday at Hampden he’ll be looking to raise his medal tally to 27.
Forrest’s goal against St Mirren made it 16 successive seasons scoring for Celtic, another Ayrshire man, Roy Aitken was present at the ceremony linking together three golden eras for Scotland’s most successful club.
Presentation No.2 from Mr Lennox to Mr Forrest on Saturday then please !!!
Sad to see Bobby looking so frail, wishing him better health going forward.
