The striker has 15 goals in all competitions for Celtic this season.

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has admitted to the Daily Mail that the big money could tempt stars such as Moussa Dembele away from the club.
The striker joined the Hoops from Fulham in the summer transfer window in a cut price move following the expiry of his Craven Cottage contract.
It has proved to be a masterstroke for the Hoops, with the Frenchman currently sitting on 15 goals in 21 games in all competitions so far.
That form has sparked interest from south of the border, with the Daily Mail reporting earlier this week that Premier League giants Manchester United had had him scouted.

And Rodgers has conceded he may struggle to keep his star man should the big clubs come offering bigger wages than the Scottish champions can provide.
“In any market, in any job or any role, if someone offers you 100 grand a week, and you’re on 40 grand a week, then you’re going to look at it,” he told the Daily Mail.
“The reality is that, no matter if we are in the Champions League, there are going to be other leagues, including the English Premier League, that can offer money that will dwarf the revenue a club like Celtic can earn.”

It remains to be seen if any of the bigger sides do come in to try and sign Dembele, perhaps as soon as January.
His form has certainly been impressive and the double against Manchester City in the Champions League will certainly have caught the attention.
Whether they are willing to pay the big price Celtic will demand is up for debate, though, with his move likely to surpass the £13 million they made from Virgil van Dijk’s move to Southampton.
For now, his focus should be on securing success with the Hoops, starting with this weekend’s clash against Aberdeen.
