Kris Boyd Praises Celtic’s Reliant Duo: James Forrest and Paulo Bernardo
Former Rangers player Kris Boyd has lavished praise on Celtic’s James Forrest and Paulo Bernardo, hailing them as two players who “never let Celtic down.” Boyd’s admiration for the duo comes ahead of Celtic’s crucial fixtures against Dundee, Aberdeen, RB Leipzig, and Kilmarnock.
Brendan Rodgers’ side earned a hard-fought win over Motherwell, with Forrest and Bernardo playing pivotal roles. Boyd told Sky Sports, “I mean, we’ve spoken about James Forrest for years now. He finds himself out of the team for a few weeks, he comes back in and he never lets Celtic down.”
Boyd also singled out Bernardo for praise, saying, “Bernardo, you know that in the games that he starts, he’s never let Celtic down.” The Portuguese midfielder has consistently delivered for Celtic, and Boyd acknowledges his reliability.
Celtic’s squad depth will be tested in the next two weeks, with four games in ten days. Captain Callum McGregor’s injury absence will likely see Rodgers rely on Forrest and Bernardo to lead the charge.
Upcoming Fixtures:
- Dundee (away)
- Aberdeen (home)
- RB Leipzig (Champions League)
- Kilmarnock (home)
Boyd’s comments underscore the importance of Forrest and Bernardo to Celtic’s success. Their experience and consistency will be crucial in navigating this challenging period.
Rodgers’ tactical acumen and ability to rotate his squad will also be vital. With Aberdeen and Rangers facing each other, Celtic has an opportunity to regain top spot in the Scottish Premiership.
Forrest and Bernardo’s reliability will provide Rodgers with a solid foundation to build upon. As Celtic embarks on this critical run of fixtures, the duo’s performances will be instrumental in determining the Hoops’ fate.
