What James Forrest claims about Andy Murray and how it ‘winds up’ Celtic defender Alistair Johnston
Celtic winger James Forrest has been stirring up a bit of fun in the Celtic camp with his playful claims about tennis legend Andy Murray. According to Forrest, he believes that Murray, who has been a long-time advocate of the Scottish football team, has a soft spot for Celtic and is a big fan of the club. However, Forrest’s lighthearted take on Murray’s affection for Celtic often “winds up” Celtic defender Alistair Johnston, who is known for his passion for the club and his competitive spirit.
Johnston, a Canadian international, is a well-known admirer of Murray’s athleticism and achievements, but when Forrest jokingly suggests that Murray’s true loyalty might be more to tennis than to Celtic, it certainly gets under Johnston’s skin. The banter between the two highlights the tight-knit nature of the Celtic squad, where players often engage in friendly teasing, all in the name of team camaraderie.
Despite the lighthearted jabs, it’s clear that both Forrest and Johnston share a deep respect for their Scottish roots, as well as a mutual appreciation for Murray’s remarkable contributions to both sport and Scottish pride.
In the end, this playful rivalry is just another example of the spirited atmosphere at Celtic Park, where friendly banter and mutual respect are just as important as the on-pitch performances.
