Moussa Dembele trolls Rangers as Celtic hero issues six word response to derby victory

Moussa Dembele is a loved man in the green half of Glasgow, not least for putting Rangers to the sword in his time at Celtic Park with a string of impressive performances.

The Frenchman joined Celtic from Fulham in 2016, and two full seasons under Brendan Rodgers before jetting off to Lyon for £20million - winning every national accolade in sight as the Hoops romped to the first half of their quadruple-treble. Dembele scored seven goals against the Gers in just nine games, including a hat-trick right at the start of his Hoops tenure which saw him instantly etch his name into Celtic folklore.

And he has further strengthened that bond with supporters with a six-word message that will continue to keep him in the good books amongst the green and white army - after a 3-2 win over their bitter rivals moved them closer to the Scottish Premiership title.

A brace from Kyogo Furuhashi before Jota's deft finish saw Celtic race into a 3-1 lead, and despite James Tavernier's late header and a mini-enslaught from Michael Beale's men, the Hoops won to go 12 points clear in the Scottish Premiership with just 21 points to play for.

And Dembele poked further fun at Rangers fans after the result, saying it was 'business as usual'.

Celtic could break the record that Dembele, Rodgers and co set themselves if they win all of their remaining league games. The Hoops will finish on 109 points if they win all of their games - smashing the 106 that Celtic set in 2016/17, which many thought would go unbeaten.
