Celtic fans want Odsonne Edouard to start in the huge Old Firm clash at Ibrox on Sunday.

The 20-year-old striker joined on loan from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer but has struggled to make a serious impact in the first team.

He's made 15 Premiership starts but he's only started nine games and scored five goals.

However, Celtic fans have liked what they've seen recently and they think he works very well in partnership with Moussa Dembele.

Celtic fans think it's going to be a tough test against a newly-fired-up Rangers and are desperate to see the youngster start.

Here are the best reactions from Celtic fans ahead of Sunday's clash:

I'd play 3-5-2 against Rangers. Dembele needs a striking partner, Edouard and him play well off of each other.

I think Edouard is a good prospect. He has pace and good positional sense. I'd definitely start with him against Rangers. 4-4-2 is a must. Unfortunately, Scott Sinclair has lost it lately.

Edouard changed that game when he came on at half time, really hope both him and Demebele start against Rangers next week.

Hard to see Celtic getting anything tbh. In saying that, Celtic have the ability to just turn on. Edouard and Dembele need to start together.

Rodgers needs to start Edouard instead of Sinclair at Ibrox next week. It's going to be a physical battle and I'd back the big man to be up for it far more.

Rangers haven't beaten Celtic since 2012 but they're on a roll at the moment under Murty.

They've win six out of seven since the turn of the year – the best record in the Premiership – and will be desperate to secure the three points that would move them to within three points of Celtic at the top.

Celtic fans think Edouard is their secret weapon.
