Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic side will play host to Graeme Murty’s Rangers in the Old Firm Derby on Sunday.
Celtic ace Kieran Tierney spoke to reporters ahead of his side’s huge clash with Rangers at Parkhead on Sunday, and raved about the quality of his teammate Moussa Dembele, as quoted by the Glasgow Evening Times.
Dembele joined the Hoops from Fulham in the summer of 2016, and has gone on to establish himself as a top striker in Scotland, scoring 47 goals in 85 appearances in all competitions.
The 21-year-old hitman certainly offers Brendan Rodgers’ side something different when he plays, and the Celtic fans will be hoping that he is fit and available for selection for Sunday’s Old Firm clash, after he missed Saturday’s defeat to Hibernian.
Tierney, 20, spoke highly of his teammate, when speaking to reporters last night, and explained why he is hoping that the Frenchman will be available for selection against Rangers on Sunday, as quoted by the Glasgow Evening Times:
“Hopefully he will be fit. He is brilliant, Moussa. I remember one game where I fired a ball up to him and he took it on the chest and made a terrible ball from me look so simple. It actually finished up making me look good. Having somebody like that in your team is brilliant.”
The Hoops can clinch the Scottish Premiership title with a win over their bitter rivals, and their chances of doing just that will greatly improve if Moussa Dembele is fit and available for selection.
