The former Celtic hitman downed Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday.

Moussa Dembele celebrates his 2nd goal (Celtic's 4th) during the Betfred Cup Semi-Final at Hampden Park on October 21, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Moussa Dembele had potentially his best game for Lyon since leaving Celtic in August.

The French striker, who spent two years at Celtic, dazzled as the Ligue 1 side inflicted a first defeat of the season on Paris Saint-Germain last night.

Dembele opened the scoring for his side with a header, cancelling out Angel Di Maria’s seventh-minute opener, before then winning the penalty which led to Bruno Genesio’s side taking all three points with a 2-1 win.

Here’s how some Celtic fans reacted to his heroics:

The 22-year-old netted the Hoops some £19.7 million [Sky Sports], a hell of a bargain when you consider that Bhoys manager Brendan Rodgers spent only £500,000 on bringing him to Parkhead [The Telegraph].

But it hasn’t been all plane sailing for the former PSG youth on his return to France, having only managed 10 goals in 26 outings across all competitions.

By virtue of the fact that he left Glasgow very late last summer, Rodgers had to wait until January to sign a replacement and it looks like that man might be Vakoun Issouf Bayo, the only striker he signed on a permanent basis last month.

Bayo is yet to make his Celtic debut.
