ODSONNE EDOUARD’S RICH form continued with a double as Celtic came from behind to beat St Johnstone 2-1 on Sunday.
The French under-21 international has scored eight times in his last six games to take his tally for the season to 20.
How manager Neil Lennon could have done with his prize asset hitting that form earlier in the campaign as Celtic still trail Rangers by 18 points despite four consecutive victories.
Steven Gerrard’s men are closing in on ending Celtic’s nine-year reign as Scottish champions.
The Hoops have a game in hand at home to Aberdeen on Wednesday and face Rangers twice more this season.
The defensive problems that have blighted Celtic all season were in evidence as St Johnstone took the lead five minutes into the second-half when Shaun Rooney headed home Callum Booth’s cross.
But two moments of magic in two minutes from Edouard turned the game around.
Firstly, he connected sweetly on the volley from Ryan Christie’s cross to equalise.
Edouard then kept his cool to round Zander Clark and finish from a narrow angle for the winner.
The former Paris Saint-Germain striker’s form will be catching the eye of suitors ahead of the summer transfer market.
Leicester and Arsenal have previously been linked with Edouard, who has just over a year left to run on his contract.
Dublin are on a different level right now, even tho they’re only cruising at 60%. My God, how good will they be come June?
@Stephen Duggan: probably win another All Ireland?
I don’t think Mayo will ever beat Dublin in this era. Aside from being the better team physically. They also have Mayo’s number mentally. Mayo miss opportunities they would normally score and make poor decisions, they normally wouldn’t. They are like a child traumatized by for years who can’t face their abuser.
Ref was atrocious
@John Farrell: I agree, he was blowing for bloody everything
Mayo don’t have the belief to win anything there on a slippery slope to no were
Dublin are the Julian Jackson of GAA. They play around before launching the KO.
