A number of Celtic fans have been left voicing their serious excitement over the future potential of Moussa Dembele and Odsonne Edouard after watching the French duo both net against Standard Liege in their friendly tie on Saturday.
The Hoops took on their Belgian opposition at Parkhead as they continue their preparations for the new campaign, with manager Brendan Rodgers choosing to use two completely different starting XIs for the two halves of the game.

Dembele and Edouard are going to run a riot domestically, if they stay fit both will hit 20+ league goals

Praying that Rodgers continues to play Dembele and Edouard as a partnership all of this coming season. Could be a master stroke move, can see that they work so so well already.
