Dembele replaced Gary Mackay-Steven just before the hour mark and grabbed a hat-trick as Celtic ran out 5-2 victors.
That victory came in the middle of a 14 match winning run that took the club to the brink of the SPFL title.
Dembele contributed 32 goals to the campaign despite his season coming to a halt in April when he injured a hamstring in the Scottish Cup semi-final win over Sevco at Hampden.
The striker has now fully recovered and is in contention to start Wednesday’s Champions League clash away to Anderlecht.
Last season Dembele scored three Champions League goals, a similar contribution this season would go a long way to ensuring European football after Christmas for the hoops.
