JAMES Forrest has completed a personal treble by adding the Ladbrokes Premiership Player of the Season award to the PFA Scotland and Scottish Football Writers' Association prizes he has already collected.
The Celtic winger will try and help the Parkhead club beat Hearts in the William Hill Scottish Cup final at Hampden on Saturday and become the first in Scottish football history to complete a treble treble.
But the 27-year-old, who has scored 22 goals for club and country in the 2018/19 campaign, has already lifted his third individual honour to this term from the top flight sponsors.
“I’m really grateful to have won this award and it’s indication of what a great season we have had as a team," he said.
“Last season was my best season in terms of stats, but I have kicked on again this season and I have had the added aspect of the international scene and doing well for Scotland
“We know it will be tough against Hearts on Saturday but we are so determined to finish the season with all three trophies again.”
David Macdonald of Ladbrokes said: "James Forrest has been remarkable for Celtic this season and we wish him and his team mates the best of luck ahead of the Scottish Cup final."
