Moussa Dembele in savage 'waste of time' Celtic vs Rangers taunt

Former Celtic striker Moussa Dembele has delivered a savage taunt to Rangers.

The Al Ettifaq striker - who played for Celtic between 2016 and 2018 - savoured watching his former club triumph 3-0 at Celtic Park.

And as he has done previously, Dembele trolled Rangers following the Scottish Premiership fixture.

On X, formerly Twitter, Dembele branded matches between the clubs as a "waste of time".

He wrote: "Why are we still playing them…?? Waste of time.

"But enjoying to see them crash again and again."

Meanwhile, Brendan Rodgers commented: "Firstly, defensively we were very strong right until the end. In the first ten minutes, we were a fraction passive in our positioning to put pressure on the ball but after that we were okay. In the moments we had to defend, we defended well.

"I thought offensively we were so exciting going forward. We scored three great goals and had a goal that was disallowed. That one was actually brilliantly worked with our build-up play getting through and it looked so, so tight and that would have been a fantastic goal for us.

"We had other opportunities in the game. The speed in our game and how we attacked the space was exceptional. We got three and maybe could have had a few more.

"We want to make it very difficult for the opposition and the crowd played their part as well. Overall, it was a fantastic result and performance."
