Moussa Dembele has given his take on Celtic romping to a 4-0 win over Rangers - which capped off a fine weekend for the ex-Hoops star with current club Lyon.
The French striker made himself a hero figure at Parkhead during his two-year stint between 2016-2018 and he took notice as Ange Postecoglou's team ripped through their rivals. It was a great day back in France for Dembele too as Lyon also thumped their opposition, the former Celtic striker scoring their final goal in a 5-0 win over Angers.
Dembele was delighted to see his former club doing well after opening up a five-point gap at the top of the Premiership, first tweeting 'Hat trick in progress...' after Liel Abada's first half double before later adding following his own victory 'We finished the week with +3 points! Focus on next week's matches. Thank you for your support. Today was a good day @CelticFC.'

Abada netted two fine first half goals against a stunned Rangers side and Jota made it three with an exquisite lob before the break.
Jon McLaughlin was then left red-faced as the away number one passed the ball straight to David Turnbull, who curled a shot into his net.
This fixture was one Dembele loved as a Celtic player, becoming the first Hoops player to net a derby league hat trick since Stevie Chalmers during a 5-1 destruction of Rangers six years ago.
