The young striker has made a decent start to life with the Scottish champions.
Speaking to the club’s official website, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has hailed youngster Moussa Dembele, saying he has shown a wonderful attitude.
The young striker moved to Celtic Park this summer after shining with Fulham in the Championship.
He has been brought in to provide sufficient cover for Leigh Griffiths, having managed 15 goals in England’s second tier last season.
He is yet to score for the Hoops in the Scottish Premiership, but he does have four goal in eight games in all competitions to his name.
Frustratingly for him he has largely been used as a substitute but Rodgers has praised his attitude, saying the youngster knows his opportunity will come.
“Moussa’s a great kid and he’s hungry to do well,” he told the club’s official website.
“He hasn’t played maybe as much as he’d want to but he’s shown a wonderful attitude and he knows that it’s a long season and his opportunities will come.”
It will certainly be interesting to see what role Dembele has to play at Celtic this season.
Much is likely to rest on the formation that Rodgers employs, with early indications being that he wanted to play Dembele alongside last season’s top-scorer Griffiths.
He appears to have changed that plan though and decided to go with Griffiths as a lone striker, meaning Dembele may have to remain patient for the time being and continue to try to impress from the bench.
