Rodgers might have just delivered Celtic’s biggest team news of the season

Celtic moved 3 points clear atop the Scottish Premiership table following a 3-nil victory over 2nd placed Aberdeen on Wednesday night.

The clash was tipped to be the Hoops’ most competitive domestic game till date, with some claiming their 60-game unbeaten run risked being ended at Pittodrie.

However, Celtic proved their invincibility in great style all over again, with a Kieran Tierney opener and Moussa Dembélé brace sealing an easy win.

The French striker has now scored 5 goals and assisted 3 others in 9 games across all competitions this term, and is on track to fire Celtic to another domestic trouble.

An hamstring injury has limited the 21-year-old to 380 minutes of action, and he has continued to work on his fitness level.

While that will continue until he attains 100% fitness, manager Brendan Rodgers has declared Dembele ready for action whenever he’s beckoned upon, and the report could be Celtic’s most exciting team news of the campaign.

The Bhoys’ boss declared post-match: “He got his goals and he is still working on his fitness, but I’m at the stage now when I look at him and Griff, whatever game I want to play them in, they are ready.”

Dembele emerged as Celtic’s highest goalscorer last season in his maiden campaign at Parkhead.

He has missed 5 league games and the clash against PSG, but Rodgers’ latest revelation means he’s set to be available for every game henceforth, and that’s without a doubt a big boost.
