FRESH from lifting the Dafabet Celtic Player of the Year Award for the 2019/20 campaign, Odsonne Edouard underscored the importance of clinching a 10th consecutive league championship at Celtic – to everyone involved at the club.

“Every season we want to win the title,” said Edouard in an interview with Celtic TV. “This year is nine in-a-row, and next year I hope it is 10 in-a-row. This will be historic for the club.

“It’s very important for the club, for the fans, for the team, for all of the staff. We now need to go back to work for next season, and I hope that we can win this title for 10 in-a-row.”

Speaking of his own routine throughout lockdown, the striker said he’s worked hard on his own but naturally misses linking up with colleagues on the training pitch at Lennoxtown.

As for his own favourite highlight during his Player of the Year-winning season, well, there could only be one goal that tops the French forward’s personal list.

He added: “I’ve worked hard throughout lockdown. Working alone is not easy, but I’ve kept my fitness up and I look forward to getting back to training.

“As for season highlights, the goal at Ibrox back in September is one of my best goals of the season, scored in an important game. I’m happy about that, and now I want go back to working hard, to try and score again against Rangers.”
