Celtic's Forrest out of Team GB reckoning

Celtic winger James Forrest will not be considered for Team Great Britain selection because of injury.

Hoops boss Neil Lennon says Scotland's Young Player of the Year has been withdrawn from Team GB manager Stuart Pearce's short list for this summer's Olympic Games because he has been sidelined since mid-March with a calf injury.

"James Forrest will not be going because he's been injured. Stuart's aware of that," Lennon told STV.

"He was in his thoughts but the fact that he's been out for so long probably rules him out."
