The best strikeforce I worked with in my time as Celtic manager would have been Maurice Johnston and Brian McClair. They were different strikers in terms of their game but together they scored an absolute load of goals.
Of course, it is ridiculously early days and I am not making any comparisons before anyone gets the wrong idea, but I think it is exciting to look at the partnership that is blossoming between Odsonne Edouard and Moussa Dembele.
They seem to have a natural telepathy on the pitch and it looks like the beginning of an exciting relationship between them.

I’m not sure that they will always be paired together for European games when there is a need to be disciplined and tight at the back but I do think it is a combination that we will see domestically.
There were a few draws clocked up last season but I’ll say right now that if these two are fit and playing together then I think they will blow teams away in the league.
They really do have the potential to be a formidable duo and I also thought that Olivier Ntcham looked the part against Alashkert this week too.
He looked in great condition, had a lot of nice touches on the ball and you have to think that Celtic look in pretty good shape as they look to kick on and get themselves back into the group stages of the Champions League.
