Celtic struggled to break down a stubborn St Mirren who looked to be heading for a rare win at Celtic Park until club legend James Forrest came on as a substitute and started to probe for an equaliser that the winger personally provided to ensure he has now scored in 16th successive season.

I've joined the epic retirement club thanks to my ex-Celtic player son who said ‘you don't have to work anymore'

A MUM of five has revealed how she was able to retire last year thanks to her big-hearted son - who is a former Celtic player. Veronica Morgan posted a heartfelt message onto The Epic Retirement Club page on Facebook, explaining how she was able to join the club thanks to her footie star son.

Lewis, 28, has been earning the big bucks as a footballer since he sealed his dream move to Parkhead from St Mirren in 2018. Things didn't quite work out for the wide-man in Glasgow, though, as he only lasted two years at the Hoops before heading stateside. But it's fair to say he's been living the good life across the pond since 2020, having initially joined Inter Miami - before Lionel Messi made the switch to David Beckham's side. Now at New York Red Bulls, the six-cap Scotland star has managed to put enough of his earnings to one side to help his loved ones out. Veronica posted on social media: "I'm so grateful to my son who retired me last year. I'm 65 and now living my best life. My children have all moved away, we are from Scotland. "My eldest son and partner are in Lytham St. Anne in England, my eldest daughter and husband in Melbourne Australia, my middle daughter and husband in Manhattan New York City, my youngest son and partner in Hoboken New Jersey, and my youngest daughter is in London, so I'm travelling now in my retirement and loving every minute." Veronica had plans to retire for some time but she wasn't in a position financially to go through with it - until her son helped her out. She continued: "I had been wanting to retire my son just gave me the push I needed to do it. "He knew I was getting tired working and didn't want me to think I had to keep working when he had the means to say 'enough is enough mum you don't have to work anymore'. The diggers move in as Celtic Park pitch is dug up "I'd never not had a job since I was 14 even when I had the five kids all under 7 at one point I still worked. "My husband and me both juggled our jobs to make sure someone was always there for them and it was tough but you do what you have to do to give your kids a good life. "They are so thankful for that and I'm so proud of all of them they've all gone on to have amazing careers - his just happened to be the one that allowed me to retire and I'm so grateful to him every day."

How Celtic can get the best out of striker Callum Osmand

The young striker has reportedly completed a medical and agreed terms with the Scottish Premiership champions ahead of a summer move from Craven Cottage. In 73 total games for Fulham's under-18s and under-21s, Osmand has netted 43 times. Read more: He has never made a senior appearance for the club, but has trained with the first team on several occasions. And Silva, who has been in charge of Fulham since 2021, has explained how Celtic can get the best out of the young frontman: "He is much more mobile [than a traditional centre forward]," he said last year [ "He needs more senior football in his legs to see how he can adapt, perform. He's got the profile that I like. "When he has a chance, he can punish the opposition. I can see the talent, in a position that is very difficult to play in the Premier League. Probably if you play another striker by his side … you will take the best from him. Let's hope we can help him to be ready for the Premier League." Osmand was nominated for Premier League 2's Player of the Year last season. Twelve months prior, he grabbed the headlines in the Premier League Cup final, bagging a hat-trick in a stunning 4-0 win for his Fulham side over Tottenham Hotspur.

Celtic ‘reopen talks for top January target' as Brendan Rodgers reignites interest

CELTIC took their time to get transfer deals over the line last summer, with Auston Trusty, Arne Engels and Luke McCowan all snapped on deadline day. Brendan Rodgers is wasting no time this summer as he already has Kieran Tierney back in Glasgow and is eyeing a number of other player to join him. 2 Kieran Tierney is back in Glasgow with Celtic Credit: Getty Images - Getty 2 Rodgers also wants to sign a talented Norwegian star Credit: AFP 12 months ago his priority was signing a new goalkeeper after Joe Hart retired at the end of his Hoops contract. And although Ross Doohan is set to return to Celtic to take Scott Bain's place after leaving Aberdeen, Rodgers is certainly more focused on improving his squad further up the pitch. He wants another striker to compete with Daizen Maeda and Adam Idah after he failed to land one in January. But he's also planning on bringing at least one more winger to the club following Jota's injury setback which will see him sidelined for months. And one player he was seriously considering during the winter window was Norweigian wide-man Sondre Ørjasæter. We told you in December how the 21-year-old was a top target for Celtic and the Scottish champions later opened talks with his club Sarpsborg about a potential deal. It led to nothing, though, despite Ørjasæter revealing a couple of months later that he carried his passport around everywhere he went in case he got the call saying the move was going to happen. SunSport understands Rodgers' side launched a bid to land him but it was booted out, with Sarpsborg holding out for a fee of around £7million. He was made to wait for his dream move, but it might not be long until he departs his current club now. That's because Sky Sports claim Celtic have reopened talks with the Norwegian outfit over a potential deal. Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has STRONGER transfer case after final defeat It's suggested the winger is also attracting interest from clubs in Germany and the Netherlands. Speaking about the Celtic interest, Ørjasæter said in April: "They were pretty brutal days for me in January. I struggled to sleep. "I didn't know if I was going to be in Norway or not. "I could have moved at any moment. "I had to carry my passport with me everywhere." Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
