Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has dubbed James Forrest "outstanding" for his Man of the Match turn in the Bhoys' 2-0 win over Motherwell on Saturday.
Rodgers named Forrest in the starting eleven for the Scottish Premiership fixture at Paradise and Celtic took the lead from the penalty spot in the 34th minute after Moussa Dembele was fouled in the box, and then dusted himself off to make it 1-0.
Celtic's lead was doubled by Forrest, who made a superb run down the right and hit a low shot past goalkeeper Craig Samson in the 41st minute.
It ended 2-0 to Celtic and Rodgers was delighted with his side's display against a stubborn Motherwell team.
"I thought the players were typically very good on a difficult surface", he said on BBC Radio Scotland.

"Motherwell were never going to come here and open the game up.
"The first 20 minutes was a bit slow, but we still got our two goals."
Rodgers also saluted Forrest, who he feels had a top notch game at Paradise.
"James Forrest was the man of the match today. He was outstanding", the Celtic manager added.
Next up for Celtic is a visit from Hamilton next weekend, before the Bhoys then take a midweek trip to Inverness on 1st March.
Celtic are currently 27 points clear at the top of the table.
