Celtic forward Leigh Griffiths brands his teammate Moussa Dembele "one of the top young talents in Europe".

Celtic forward Leigh Griffiths has described his teammate Moussa Dembele as "one of the top young talents in Europe".

Dembele scored his 15th Celtic goal of the 2017-18 campaign against Rangers in the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup at the weekend.

Griffiths has branded Dembele's performance against Rangers "unplayable" as the Scot paid tribute to his 21-year-old teammate's 'calmness'.

"With that display, Moussa showed he is one of the top young talents in Europe," Griffiths told Celtic's official website. "He bullied their centre-halves and he was unplayable, and his penalty just summed the guy up.

"It doesn't matter how big the occasion is, he is always calm. I thought he was exceptional. He never gave the Rangers defence a minute's peace. He has that in the locker and when he is in the mood like that he is a joy to watch."

Dembele joined Celtic from Fulham in the summer of 2016, and managed 32 goals in 49 appearances during his first season with the Scottish giants.
