Scott Brown had his testimonial at the weekend as a Celtic side drew with Ireland 2-2 in front of a bouncing Celtic Park.
It was a great weekend of celebration as we sealed another treble before honouring the skipper’s career at the club with a game jam-packed with legends.
The main man of course, too, was Henrik Larsson as he returned to the green and white to rapturous applause.
It was a great moment, then, and this picture certainly got many of us imagining what it would be like having him in his prime alongside Moussa up top:

The Verdict
Two top players but Dembele obviously has a way to go to get near the King’s standing.
Even so, if he stays put for a few years yet, keeps scoring goals and keeps putting the Gers in their place, there’s no reason why he couldn’t come close.
He’d better sign a new deal first though.
