Celtic star Moussa Dembele took to social networking site Twitter to aim a sly dig at arch rivals Rangers, after the Bhoys progressed to the Champions League group stage.

The 21-year-old is currently out injured, and missed out on Celtic’s second leg clash against FC Astana in Kazakhstan.

However, he took to social media quickly after the full-time whistle to congratulate his teammates. And he couldn’t resist trolling Rangers on this occasion.

Rangers suffered Euro humiliation against minnows Progres Niederkorn last month, and Dembele tweeted:

“To the Champions League we Progrès! Well done Bhoys, we’re back to the finest European football.”

Celtic took a 5-0 lead in the first leg, and their progress to the group stages was almost guaranteed.

Astana made it difficult for them as they raced to a 4-1 lead, but goals from Olivier Ntcham and Leigh Griffiths killed the tie completely, securing an 8-4 aggregate win for the Bhoys.

Here are some of the reactions from both sets of fans on Twitter:
