Odsonne Edouard carefully avoided any questions about his contract but that didn’t prevent the striker from giving Celtic fans an insight into his thinking during an Instagram Q and A.

The striker has started 94 matches for the hoops, scoring 62 goals with dozens of special memories created within those stats.

A quiet, steady but unspectacular loan spell came alive at Ibrox in March 2018 when he came off the bench at Ibrox to score the winning goal with Graeme Murty never quite recovering.

Two goals in the title clincher a few weeks later sealed his place in Celtic folklore with that status cemented last May when he scored the two goals that broke Hearts to win the Treble.

Halfway through his four year contract there is naturally plenty of interest in Edouard but with football suspended the speculation about his future is on hold.

The 22-year-old gives little away about his intentions but engaged fully with the fans as he faced the Instagram Interrogation Squad.
