Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has suggested to The Scottish Sun that he could deploy both Moussa Dembele and Odsonne Edouard against Rangers.

Graeme Murty’s Rangers will take on Celtic at Ibrox in the Scottish Premiership next weekend.

The two French strikers played well with each other during the Bhoys’ 3-0 victory over Greenock Morton at Celtic Park in the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup on Saturday.

While Dembele scored twice for the Bhoys, Edouard found the net in the 90th minute of the tie.

Celtic manager Rodgers has suggested that he could deploy the 21-year-old and the 20-year-old strikers against Rangers at Ibrox next weekend.

Rodgers told The Scottish Sun: “I felt that those two occupied their back four really well because they are both quick.

“Odsonne wants to run in behind but his link up and hold up play is really good and he had two good chances before he scored the goal.

“Next week is something I can consider. I’ve an idea of what we want to do if everyone’s fit next week, but certainly today he provided the spark the team needed.”

Ominous for Rangers defence

Dembele is one of the best young strikers in Europe, while Edouard is playing well for Celtic at the moment.

The two French strikers starting against Rangers is going to make it tough for the Gers defence, who will have to be extra alert and could be stretched by the Celtic stars.
