Celtic striker Moussa Dembele has been linked with moves away in the January transfer window.

Simon Donnelly has told Betsafe that Celtic will win against Hibernian at Celtic Park in the Scottish Premiership this weekend.

Brendan Rodgers’s will head into the match against Hibs on Saturday afternoon on the back of a 2-1 victory over Partick Thistle away from home at the Firhill Stadium on Tuesday evening.

Former Celtic midfielder Donnelly has also predicted that Moussa Dembele will leave the Glasgow giants in the January transfer window.

Dembele has been linked with moves away from Celtic Park this month, with a number of clubs in the Premier League claimed to be interested in the 21-year-old striker.

According to The Scottish Sun, Everton, Stoke City, Brighton and Hove Albion and Crystal Palace all are interested in signing the French striker.

Donnelly believes that Dembele will leave Celtic in the January transfer window, and the 43-year-old former midfielder has also praised Hoops striker Leigh Griffiths.

Celtic manager Rodgers, though, recently told BBC Sport that the club have no interest in selling Dembele in the January transfer window.

Donnelly told Betsafe: “I think there will be goals. I think Celtic will win.”

“I have listened to Brendan Rodgers’s post-match comments for the last few games,” said Donnelly about Dembele.

“For me, it’s more likely Dembele’s going to go. Why is he not playing? There’s obviously something there.”

“I think out of the three strikers, I think Griffiths for me is the most potent one there,” added Donnelly.
