James Forrest was sensational against Inverness and it was great to see him providing such an accomplished end product. I think it is a sign of the fitness and the confidence of the player at present that he can produce such a high level, and in my opinion he is probably playing the best football of his career.

He’s managed to stay clear of the niggly injuries that have dogged him in the past, and as a result, he is probably in the best physical condition he has been in for a long time too.

Forrest has always had talent and potential, and it is so good to see that being realised. He got three assists against Inverness, played a part in another one of the goals and constantly tormented Carl Tremarco and the rest of the visiting defenders.

A lot has been made of the improvement of the players under the guidance of Brendan Rodgers, and I think Forrest is the perfect example of that with the way he has turned his Celtic career - and the perception of him as a player – around.

On the other wing, perhaps the biggest surprise from last week’s match was that Scott Sinclair didn’t score, but he was still in fantastic form, showcasing all of his strength, power and determination right to the end of the game to force the sixth goal.

There is no doubt that an argument could be put forward to say that Sinclair has been Celtic’s player most effective player this season, both through his incredible goal record and his assists.

I was having a wry chuckle when I heard the suggestion that he might be tempted back down south because his wife is back in Coronation Street. Footballers are well used to having partners in the entertainment business these days, and the main thing is that they are both on record as being happy with life in Glasgow.

The player himself certainly seems to be enjoying his football more than he has for years, and he has found an environment where his undoubted talent has been allowed to flourish.

Celtic now possess a real threat from both flanks, and as they showed last Saturday, on their day there is not a defence in Scotland that can live with them.
