Forrest has spent more than two decades of his 34 years on Celtic’s books, with the Parkhead club having beaten rivals Rangers to his signature as a youth player.
He has gone on to become Celtic’s most decorated player with 26 trophies, which is one more than Lisbon Lion Bobby Lennox and two clear of current captain Callum McGregor.
There have been plenty of goals alongside the silverware and Forrest has netted in all 17 seasons so far.
The incredible streak began in May 2010 when the winger – then a fresh-faced 20-year-old – marked his Celtic debut by flicking in the third goal of a 4-0 win over Motherwell.
His latest goal came 15-and-a-half years later with a sidefoot finish to complete a 3-1 victory over Aberdeen last December as Wilfried Nancy got what would be the first of only two wins during his shambolic reign.
That was the 110th goal of Forrest’s Celtic career and his impressive, game-changing Scottish Cup semi-final cameo against St Mirren last weekend was his 564th appearance for the club.
In setting up Kelechi Iheanacho’s extra-time effort, Forrest took his assists haul to 112.
The Scotland international has started 369 Celtic games and appeared as a substitute 195 times.
Forrest’s most fruitful scoring seasons came in consecutive treble-winning campaigns, netting 17 goals in both 2017-18 and 2018-19. He almost made it three in a row, scoring 16 times the following campaign.
His strike this season moved him above Paul McStay and Jimmy McGrory (both 16) and level with Bobby Lennox on 17 successive seasons of scoring.
The only player in Celtic history with a better record is Jimmy McMenemy, who netted in 18 straight campaigns from 1902. Forrest will have that target in his sights next term.
