Former Celtic striker Moussa Dembélé, who is no stranger to the exhilarating highs of the Glasgow Derby, took to Twitter to express his joy at his old club’s 1-0 win over Rangers at Ibrox.
Currently plying his trade in the Saudi Pro League under former Ibrox gaffer Steven Gerrard, Dembélé hasn’t forgotten the battles fought and victories won during his time at Celtic Park.
His tweet read: “Glasgow green and white (as always) 💪🏾😁 Ibrox green and white (as usual) 🏟️🤪 @CelticFC 🟢⚪️”

The playful yet poignant message captured the essence of the rivalry and the pride that comes with winning such a highly contested fixture. His cheeky remarks, describing Glasgow and Ibrox, in particular “green and white,” reflect not only the outcome of this particular match but also a confident nod to Celtic’s historical successes at the venue.
For fans, Dembélé’s tweet will serve as a satisfying cherry on top of a day that saw their team put on a mature, calculated performance to secure a crucial win. It’s a reminder that once you’re part of the Celtic family, the emotional ties don’t easily fade, regardless of where your career might take you thereafter.
Dembélé, who himself has scored in this fierce fixture, knows all too well what these games mean to the players, the fans, and the city as a whole.
