Celtic striker Moussa Dembele has revealed the funniest on-pitch moment of his career so far, and it involves Old Firm rivals Rangers, as quoted in The Daily Record.

Dembele has revealed that during an Old Firm derby between Celtic and Rangers, he was called rubbish by a Gers player.

“I remember one when I was playing against Rangers and one of their players said something like ‘shut up, you are a rubbish football’,” The Daily Record quotes the striker as saying.

“They said it with more profanity than that actually. I would say that’s the funniest moment I’ve had on the pitch.”

Quality footballer

Dembele, who earns £25,000 per week as salary according to The Daily Star, is one of the best young strikers in Europe and is a key member in the current Celtic team.

The 21-year-old striker has scored 45 goals in 85 appearances for Celtic so far in his career, as stated on the Bhoys’ official website.

The youngster has been on the books of the Glasgow giants since the summer of 2016 when he joined after leaving Fulham in the Championship in England.

Dembele has a very good record in Old Firm games as well, and one can safely say that whichever Rangers player called him “rubbish” was 100% wrong.

The France Under-21 international is one of the best players in the Scottish Premiership and when, on firm, he is arguably the best striker in the division.
