Celtic produced a superb derby day display to beat Rangers 2-1 on Sunday – and Moussa Dembele couldn’t resist rubbing salt into the Ibrox wounds.

The Bhoys headed to Ibrox knowing that a win would all but seal the league title, especially with Rangers in patch league form.

Aaron Ramsey’s early opener threatened to blow the title race wide open, but Tom Rogic quickly levelled it up for Celtic.

Who had Cameron Carter-Vickers down as the Celtic matchwinner? Probably not many.

Still, the American defender popped up with the winning goal as Celtic took a huge step towards another league title.

Celtic had to stand firm in the second half as Rangers sent cross after cross into the box, and they did that job perfectly.

With one hand now on the title, Celtic players can be forgiven for being in celebratory mood after Sunday’s huge victory.

Dembele celebrates Celtic’s win over Rangers

Even former Celtic players are loving it, with striker Moussa Dembele leading the celebrations… or should that be the mocking?

Dembele may have left Celtic in 2018 but he has always loved poking fun at Rangers’ expense, especially on derby day.

Currently with Lyon, Dembele took to Twitter to congratulate Celtic whilst claiming that Glasgow is clearly ‘green and white’.

Dembele added that the win as ‘usual stuff’ from Celtic even if Rangers have fared well against the Bhoys in recent years.

Hoops fans were lapping it up as Dembele echoed how all around Celtic feel right now, even if he left Parkhead some time ago.

Having seen Rangers lift the title last season, Celtic are now very, very close to reclaiming Glasgow supremacy once again, living up to Dembele’s tweet in style.
