The former France Under-19 international has arrived at Celtic Park with a strong reputation, and he has already hit the ground running.

The PSG-owned forward made his debut for Celtic last week, featuring in the Glasgow giants’ 4-1 victory over Hamilton Academical away from home.

Former Rangers striker and manager Ally McCoist, who is a legend at Ibrox, was following the match, and he was impressed with the performance of the Celtic forward against Hamilton.

“One thing you have got there is plenty to work with,” said McCoist about Edouard on BT Sport 1 during their post-match coverage of the game between Hamilton and Celtic last Friday evening (September 8, 2017). “He is raw, he is aggressive, he is physical, he looks very, very quick.”
