Forrest joined Tom Rogic, Mikael Lustig and Scott Brown among the survivors. Tony Stokes, Charlie Mulgrew and Kris Commons weren’t seen again.

It wasn’t until midway through the second half that the equaliser arrived but after Johnston broke into the penalty box the ball fell to Callum McGregor who found the net with a fierce half volley from 16 yards out. The joy matched the relief.

Last season wasn’t the greatest for Forrest but he did score his 100th Celtic goal and was on the pitch at Hampden when the final whistle blew on the club’s eighth treble.
