The Celtic hitman would never do a Ronaldo and join the Hoops’ greatest rivals – Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers.

Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard has laughed off a question about moving to Rangers at some point down the line.

Edouard is one of the best strikers in Scottish football following a £9 million move to the Hoops from Paris Saint-Germain in 2018.

The young Frenchman looks set to have his best-ever season at Celtic, but he didn’t seem too keen on suggestions that he might join Rangers in the future.

Iconic Brazil striker Ronaldo is Edouard’s idol but the legendary marksman played for AC Milan and Inter, and earlier Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Asked whether the Celtic striker would consider playing for his club’s greatest rivals, he said via The Scottish Sun: “No, never – it’s impossible!”

There’s a personal rivalry between Edouard and Rangers’ Alfredo Morelos this season.

The Gers’ fans will say that Morelos is much better, while Celtic supporters will say the opposite. The truth is, they’re both extremely fine strikers who could have their best-ever season at their respective Old Firm club.

Morelos, who has five more goals than Edouard, is already on 11 for the season and we’re not even through September yet, but the Celtic star is more than capable of bridging that gap.
