Derby day specialist Moussa Dembele hailed the all conquering Kings of Glasgow after Celtic beat Sevco for the third time this season.
The young striker was given the nod ahead of Leigh Griffiths and justified Brendan Rodgers decision in stunning style.
With the tribute act leading 1-0 Dembele thrashed home an unstoppable shot in the 33rd minute that none of the home players dared go near.
From that moment on Celtic dominated the game giving the home fans an idea of just how inferior their Championship heroes are.
We came, we saw, we conquered, kings of Glasgow again ????! Top team performance & world class support! Enjoy Ur new years eve #Bhoys ????????

Dembele has been getting all sorts of silly stats thrown at him recently but shrugged off the doubters by exposing the incompetence of the magic hat once again.
In September he put three goals past Wesley Foderingham but after the match Mark Warburton, who used to work as a city trader, claimed that there wasn’t much of a gap between the two teams.
At Hampden in October Dembele scored the only goal of the game in the Betfred Cup semi-final and although the scoreline was narrower the gap between the sides hadn’t narrowed.
With a 19 point lead over Sevco plus a game in hand Brendan Rodgers will be well pleased with the best £500,000 he’s ever spent in his career.
