Callum McGregor insists James Forrest can solve Scotland right back problems

Celtic skipper Callum McGregor believes title winning team mate James Forrest could provide the answer to Scotland’s right back riddle at this summer’s Euros.

But McGregor suspects his team mate might do a whole lot more than just make up the numbers as a fringe man in Clarke’s plans now that the manager has been left with a major headache on the right hand side of his five man defence. With Nathan Patterson set to miss out and Aaron Hickey still battling back from injury after seven months on the sidelines, McGregor says Forrest could be a ready made replacement for the role.

“It would be amazing if he managed to get back in for the tournament. He’s just got to keep pushing and knocking on the door and hopefully, he gets in.” McGregor went on: “He has made a big difference to the team as well in terms of his ball retention. James has been a big part of the team elevating their level in terms of how good he has been.
