Celtic centre-forward Moussa Dembele responded on Twitter after his side’s win against Alashkert.
Celtic centre-forward Moussa Dembele hailed his team after they cruised through their Champions League qualifying tie on Wednesday night.
The Bhoys recorded a 3-0 home win against Armenian club Alashkert, which saw them progress from the first round of qualifying 6-0 on aggregate.
Celtic had to deal with an early red card to Jozo Simunovic in the 11th minute after a high challenge, but it barely impacted the Scottish champions.
Dembele got on the scoresheet with two goals, while Celtic teammate James Forrest also notched in the first-half.
One sour note for the hosts is that Dembele appeared to limp off with an injury, and that could be bad news with the Champions League second qualifying round with Rosenborg just around the corner.
The French striker posted on social media after the match to congratulate his side, but made no comment about a potential injury.
“50th goal scored for the club. We played well tonight, great link up, pace and team work! Thanks for your support Bhoys and Ghirls top class again!” Dembele wrote on his personal Twitter account.
Dembele will be boosted by his brace and will be determined to get his season off to good start. He managed just 16 goals for Celtic across all competitions last season, which was exactly half the tally he managed during his breakout year in the 2015/16 campaign.
