Celtic fans still remember striker fondly.
Moussa Dembele’s swift exit from Celtic in 2018 was badly handled and left a bitter taste.
But when Brendan Rodgers upped and quit months later, he was cast as the villain of the piece in the Dembele saga.
Celtic have gone on to sweep all four trophies up for grabs since and are on course to bag a couple more.
Dembele is back in his rightful place as a Celtic hero, and so he should be after playing a vital contribution to stamping on a so-called revived Rangers threat when they won promotion in 2016.
The young French striker became an instant hero with a hat-trick in his first match against Rangers.
Dembele’s twitter feed is almost all-Celtic over the past fortnight and last night he responded to a supporter’s tribute video to his time at the club.
Dembele may even have a gift for Celtic this summer. The club negotiated a sell on clause in his contract and Celtic will get a slice of a future fee.
With Football London linking Chelsea and Arsenal with a £70 million plus move over the past few days, there could be quite a decent windfall for Celtic.
