Moussa Dembele congratulated Glasgow Rangers on their sixth win in a row and Celtic on their domestic Treble.

Moussa Dembele has taken to Twitter to congratulate Celtic on securing their latest domestic Treble, while also mocking Rangers for the way that they celebrated winning their sixth game in a row in the latest Old Firm encounter.

Neil Lennon’s men made it nine domestic trophies over the last three seasons as they came from behind to beat Hearts at Hampden Park in the Scottish Cup final. A somewhat lacklustre Hoops side were sparked into life by conceding the opening goal.

Odsonne Edouard then bagged a brace, including a coolly-taken 82nd minute winner, to ensure that Celtic ended another brilliant season on a high. And the victory prompted Dembele to take to social media.

The Frenchman congratulated his former club on the achievement, but he could not resist taking a swipe at Steven Gerrard’s side by also praising Rangers for recently winning six games in a row and jokingly suggesting that the two accomplishments were on a similar level.

The sixth win of the Gers’ run had come against Celtic. Gerrard’s men were dominant on the day and sealed the three points with goals from James Tavernier and Scott Arfield.

And while some Rangers fans will argue that the Light Blues have sent out a warning ahead of next season, Dembele’s message clearly suggested that he feels that they have a long way to go to reach Celtic’s level.
