Odsonne Edouard scored for Brendan Rodgers’s Celtic at Ibrox in the Old Firm derby.

Candeias of Rangers vies with Kieran Tierney of Celtic during the Rangers v Celtic Ladbrokes Scottish Premiership match at Ibrox Stadium on March 11, 2018 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Celtic defender Kieran Tierney has revealed to The Glasgow Evening Times that Odsonne Edouard was quiet in the dressing room after the win against Rangers.

Edouard, who joined Celtic on a season-long loan deal from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2017, scored the winner in the Old Firm derby at Ibrox on Sunday afternoon.

The 20-year-old forward came on as a substitute in the 67th minute and found the net just two minutes against Rangers.

Celtic left-back Tierney has revealed that the former France Under-19 forward was quiet in the dressing room, which is quite unusual given that he had just scored the winner in one of the biggest games in the world.

Tierney told The Glasgow Evening Times about Edouard: “What a goal it was. He came into the dressing room after the game when everyone was buzzing and he was still his usual quiet self.

“I am sure he was thrilled with it but he is a big calm lad and he just came strolling into the dressing room after the game.”

Making progress

Edouard is not guaranteed a place in the Celtic starting lineup, but the French forward has made good impact as a substitute.

The youngster has scored six goals and provided two assists in 16 Scottish Premiership appearances for the Hoops so far this season, according to Transfermarkt.co.uk.

According to The Daily Mail, Celtic will have to pay PSG a transfer fee of £7 million in order to secure the services of Edouard on a permanent contract.
