da cassino: It was looking extremely likely that Celtic were going to miss out on extending their lead at the top of Scottish Premiership on Sunday to ten points having been frustrated by strugglers Dundee.
da aposte e ganhe: Yet with only seconds remaining at Dens Park, Odsonne Edouard stepped up when it really mattered. The Frenchman fired home from close range to send the Hoops well clear of their nearest rivals Rangers who dropped points once again on Saturday after failing to overcome Steve Clarke’s Kilmarnock at Ibrox.
Edouard’s recent form in Scotland’s top tier has been exemplary with the forward scoring four goals in his last four league appearances for Celtic. His latest strike saw him move to 18 for the season in all competitions, which is six more than any other player for the Bhoys.
If the former Paris Saint-Germain player continues his goal-scoring antics, he may inadvertently attract attention from clubs across Europe, leaving his side with an ultimatum that they will have to overcome in the summer. Considering the fact that Edouard is only 21-years-old, he has all the capabilities of becoming a Celtic legend if he stays with in Glasgow for the foreseeable future. Yet for this to occur, the club’s shareholders must avoid the temptation to sell one of their star players in the summer.
Last summer saw Moussa Dembele move to Olympique Lyonnais on transfer deadline day, which left many Hoops fans angered at the timing of the move as Celtic were unable to bring in a permanent replacement.
Although it was reported that the club recuperated a fee of £19.7m for the French forward (via the BBC), his absence has been felt by Celtic in Europe this season as the club were knocked out of the Europa League by Valencia in February.
If Celtic are to return to the Champions League group stages in the 2019/20 campaign, they must make the decision to build their squad around Edouard instead of making the same mistake as they did with Dembele.
Although domestic dominance is a great achievement for the Hoops, they should also be aiming to compete on a European level as the greatest ever Scottish sides have always been remembered for their exploits on the biggest of stages.
What do you think Celtic fans? Should the club be doing all they can to keep Edouard in the summer? Or should they cash in on the forward? Let us know below.
