Celtic beat Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers in their last match, but Odsonne Edouard was not involved.

Brendan Rodgers has told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, which was broadcast on 25th September on TalkSPORT, that he rates Odsonne Edouard very highly.

Edouard has joined Celtic on loan from PSG, and the young forward has been held back so far.

The 19-year-old striker was not even on the substitutes’ bench for Celtic’s latest match against Rangers.

Yet Rodgers insists that he still has a very high opinion of the French youth international.

“Odsonne Edouard has big talent as well. I rate him highly and he wasn’t even in the squad at the weekend,” Rodgers said.

Edouard has generally impressed when given a chance in Celtic’s first-team to date, with the striker boasting a productive record.

Edouard has scored once and created three assists in his four appearance for the Bhoys across all competitions.

Edouard faces a tough battle to earn a place in Celtic’s starting line-up again, as Moussa Dembele is returning to fitness and Leigh Griffiths is in good form.

Celtic are next in action tomorrow against Anderlecht in the Champions League.
