'Why are we still playing them?' - Gloating Celtic hero brands Rangers rivalry a 'waste of time'

Celtic hero Moussa Dembele toasted another dominant derby win and poked fun at Rangers' downfall.

The Hoops swept their Glasgow rivals away at Parkhead today to move five points clear of the struggling Ibrox side at the top of the table. It extends Philippe Clement's winless run against Brendan Rodgers to FIVE games since taking over the reins from Michael Beale.

And worryingly for Rangers fans, the woeful run of results may only worsen, with Rodgers losing just one of his 19 Old Firm games in charge. The green-and-white faithful lapped up their latest win over Rangers at a sold-out Celtic Park today and Dembele was one of millions who tuned in across the world.

Now playing at Saudi Pro League club Al-Ettifaq, Dembele is managed by ex-Rangers boss Steven Gerrard. But the Frenchman couldn't resist ribbing the Light Blues as he celebrated his former club's 3-0 triumph.

Double-Treble winner Dembele - who netted seven goals in two seasons against Gers - posted on X: "Why are we still playing them…?? Waste of time But enjoying to see them crash again and again."
