The French attacker scored three and set up Scott Sinclair for another in an impressive display against their fierce rivals to maintain their perfect start

Moussa Dembele scored a hat-trick and created another as Celtic secured bragging rights in the Old Firm derby with a 5-1 rout of Rangers on Saturday.

The former Fulham striker may not have even started the contest at Celtic Park had Leigh Griffiths not missed out with a calf injury.

Dembele proved Celtic's hero, though, opening his Scottish Premiership account for the club when afforded a free header at a corner before doubling the lead with a clever finish in the 42nd minute.
