Celtic beat Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers 5-1 in their most recent match.
Celtic striker Moussa Dembele has admitted to the Glasgow Evening Times that he was frustrated to miss out on playing against Glasgow Rangers last weekend.
Dembele was ruled out with injury, after damaging his hamstring in the Scottish Cup semi-final.
The French striker could now miss the rest of the season, and he has admitted that he doesn’t enjoy watching from the sidelines.
“I’ve had hamstring injuries before so I knew I couldn’t carry on – that’s why I looked to the bench immediately and asked them to make the change,” Dembele said.
“Missing the Rangers game on Saturday was frustrating but I’ve played in five already this season and the other boys did well at Ibrox.
“They looked especially hungry and they deserved the win – in fact, they could have scored even more goals than they did.”
Even without Dembele, Celtic stormed to victory at Ibrox in comfortable circumstances.
Celtic won 5-1 against Rangers, and they looked a class above their Glasgow rivals.
The Bhoys scored through Scott Sinclair, Leigh Griffiths, Callum McGregor, Dedryck Boyata and Mikael Lustig to record an impressive victory at Rangers’ home ground.
Dembele is now facing a race to be fit to play again this season.
Celtic’s final match of the campaign comes at the end of May, when they take on Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup final.
