Rodgers must brutally drop Celtic man who had fewer touches than Schmeiche

Celtic made it three wins from three in the Scottish Premiership this season as they travelled away from Parkhead to take on St Mirren on Sunday.

The Hoops ran out convincing winners with a 3-0 victory over their opponents, thanks to goals from Callum McGregor, Reo Hatate, and Alistair Johnston.

All three goals were well taken, with the captain scoring from range, Hatate finding the bottom corner with a sweet left-footed volley, and the full-back finding the roof of the net with a composed finish.

Despite the comfortable victory, there were some underwhelming performers on the pitch and one player Brendan Rodgers must brutally bin from the starting XI is winger James Forrest.

James Forrest’s performance against St Mirren

The Scottish forward was given the nod to start on the right flank ahead of Nicolas Kuhn, who was not fully fit to start, and failed to make the most of his opportunity to impress.

This was despite a very promising start to the match from the academy graduate. Forrest drifted in from the wing and played a pass to McGregor, who smashed the ball into the bottom corner from long range inside the opening two minutes.

However, creating a low-quality opportunity for his captain from distance was, unfortunately, the only highlight of his performance for the Hoops.

The 33-year-old attacker ended the match with 39 touches of the ball, fewer than goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel (54), and should now be dropped to the bench.
