Ex Celtic hero Moussa Dembele revealed title-winning Rangers boss Steven Gerrard is more like a big brother than a manager to him - as he named his Old Firm derby hat-trick as his career highlight to date.
Demeble and Gerrard loved the fierce Glasgow rivalry during their respective stints on opposite ends of the fierce divide and are now gearing up for their own derby in when in Dammam on Saturday when Al Ettifaq battle Al Qadsiah as part of the Roshn Saudi Pro League’s Derby Week.
The 28-year-old Frenchman spent two years at Parkhead before a big money move to Lyon but made a huge impression in the east end of Glasgow, which included a sizzling treble in his first game against the Light Blues.
Dembele regularly trolls his old rivals on social media but has huge respect for the man who last won the title as Ibrox boss.
