BBC Scotland's chief sports writer Tom English dissects a Scottish Cup rollercoaster at Hampden as Celtic edge past Aberdeen to set up a meeting with Rangers or Hearts.
In a time dominated by wind and rain and storm this and storm that, the sun came out at Hampden on Saturday and the men of Aberdeen and Celtic came out to play - and play and play.
At 1-0, Aberdeen looked big and strong and a serious danger to Celtic's bid for a double. Trailing 2-1, they looked done and dusted. Then, from only the Lord knows where, they summoned their bench and found energy and belief and threat. Junior Hoilett had two terrific chances to level it, but couldn't. Poor Aberdeen. Another narrow loss at Hampden.
Brendan Rodgers' team were in a much better place now. And Aberdeen? Improving after the pantomime of Neil Warnock's time, but not really functioning as a threatening force. In that opening half, Celtic were not themselves. Pressed to distraction. Inaccurate in their passing. Struggling. They needed the helping hand - or tangled feet - of Angus MacDonald to get them level.
Forrest's first team-mates on that goalscoring debut against Motherwell were Morten Rasmussen and Edson Braafheid, Zheng Zhi and Marc-Antoine Fortune. How many players has he seen come and go at Celtic Park? Think of all the legions of wingers the club has signed in those years, all those supposedly bright young things who arrived to take his place.
