Celtic’s Moussa Dembele has scored four goals in two games against Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers.
Celtic striker Moussa Dembele has warned Glasgow Rangers in the Daily Mail that he intends to keep scoring against them.
Dembele has now played in two Old-Firm derbies and he has found the back of the net in both of them.
The 20-year-old, who signed from Fulham during the summer transfer window, netted a hat-trick when Celtic demolished Rangers 5-1 earlier in the season.
And he made himself an even greater hero with the Bhoys faithful, by flicking in Celtic’s winner in the Scottish League Cup semi-final against the Light Blues yesterday.
Dembele is insistent that he will not rest on his laurels, though, and the youngster is targeting more goals against Rangers in the future.
“In the big games you have to make sure you are ready,” the French youth international said. “In the two games against them, that’s what I have done. Hopefully, that can continue in the next games against Rangers.
“That’s us in the first final of the season and we deserved the win. We did everything we could to win the game and we are happy.
“Scoring one goal or three, it doesn’t make a difference to me. The only thing that matters is we win the game.
“I wouldn’t say this was any better or worse than the last game. It was just different.
“This is the beginning for me at Celtic. There is a lot more to come as I have only been here for three months. I train hard every day, I give my all on the pitch‘It would mean a lot to win the trophy because it would be my first medal at this level. That’s why I came to Celtic — to win things and play in big games like this.”
Dembele has made a remarkable start to his Celtic career, and he is rapidly becoming a fans’ favourite at Parkhead.
The powerful forward has netted 14 times in his first 20 appearances for Celtic, and he has already become Rodgers’ main man up-front.
Dembele’s next chance to impress is likely to come in Celtic’s next match, which is for Wednesday evening against Ross County.
