Stephen Welsh has been around the Celtic first team for a long time, but can he use the example of James Forrest to finally become a regular in the…
James Forrest's example is proving to be an inspiration to Celtic fringe players like Stephen Welsh as they look to establish themselves in Brendan Rodgers' starting XI.If Stephen Welsh had a pound for every time someone has asked him in summer if the coming season is a pivotal one for him, he’d probably be comfortably well enough off not to have to pursue a career as a professional footballer.
His contract runs for another three years, so time may still be on his side, but the defender is eager to force his way more regularly into the thoughts of manager Brendan Rodgers sooner rather than later.To do that, he is drawing inspiration from a man who looked to be well out of the picture at the club last term, but who stormed his way back into the reckoning with a combination of hard work, patience, and a will to never give up on his Celtic career.
“All I can do is go in, work hard and show what I can do, and hopefully by the time the season comes I’ll be in a good position. “Even in a pre-season friendly, there is no better feeling than that. I just went out and enjoyed it.“I was obviously delighted, but I think it’s about looking ahead to the next games for us and we’re looking forward to that.“It’s 45 minutes in the legs, and that’s us a week in training now, so to get a game under your belt is positive.“ is a big opportunity for everyone to get fit and to show that you can play in the team.
“So, I think we’ve got a lot to improve on, and there’s no better chance to than to play another game, which is only a few days away, so we’re looking forward to that.”
