Scout report
J. Forrest is a 35-year-old attacking midfielder at Celtic, rated 10.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 222nd of 225 on scout potential in the Premiership. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (22.8% of available minutes). He brings 0.23 goal contributions per 90 (0.12 goals, 0.12 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Forrest.
Judged on this season alone, Forrest graded 7 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 35th of 40 of the 40 attacking midfielders in the Premiership, on 1 goal and 1 assist in 27 appearances (0.231 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 14 → 7). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 10, 40th of 40 of the 40 attacking midfielders in the Premiership. At 35 Forrest is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.7 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Celtic finished 3rd of 12 · an upper-table side
1 goal in 27 appearances (0.04 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 2 goal contributions in all.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 22.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Output. 0.23 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
- Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 10.1, Forrest carries the 40th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Premiership of 40 — though on just 27 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.23 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
