Celtic welcomed back former striker Moussa Dembele on Sunday.
Celtic ended their league campaign on Sunday afternoon, beating Hearts 2-1 at Parkhead ahead of their meeting in the Scottish Cup final next week.
The Bhoys were looking for a response after losing 2-0 to Rangers last weekend, and didn’t waste any time as Mikey Johnston opened the scoring for the hosts.
Jake Mulraney equalised for Hearts as he capitalised on a Scott Bain blunder, but Celtic – buoyed by the half time introduction of 16-year-old Karamoko Dembele – claimed a late win as Johnston grabbed his second.
Celtic fans were dazzled by teenager Dembele as he put himself in contention for a shock cup final appearance, and there was another Dembele in the house.
Lyon striker Moussa Dembele returned to Parkhead on Sunday, almost nine months since leaving the Bhoys to sign for the French giants.
The 22-year-old has excelled with Lyon, smashing 15 goals in 32 league outings, and with Lyon beating Caen on Saturday, the striker was free to return to watch Celtic on Sunday afternoon.
Dembele took to Twitter to react, admitting that he didn’t really get to say goodbye when he left last summer, but praised the Celtic fans for a ‘sweet welcome home’, and for making Parkhead so special.
