How pundits reacted to Celtic win as Odsonne Edouard receives Dennis Bergkamp comparison

Gordon Strachan compared Odsonne Edouard to Dennis Bergkamp as he heaped praise on Celtic.

The Hoops ran out comfortable 4-0 winners over Motherwell at Fir Park to stay seven points ahead of title rivals Rangers.

The Ibrox side have a game in hand but Celtic look unstoppable in current form and cruised past third-placed Motherwell.

And Strachan was full of praise for their French frontman, who grabbed two goals in the victory.

The first was a great striker's finish before he showed his class with a stunning free kick to make it 4-0 either side of goals from Leigh Griffiths and Callum McGregor.

But what did the pundits have to say about the game and performance?

Gordon Strachan

"I thought they were stunning. I haven't seen them play like that in 11 years. They should be dancing.

"He (Odsonne Edouard) reminds me of Dennis Bergkamp. He can do things Bergkamp can do.

Michael Stewart

"It was goal of the season from Callum McGregor. Celtic went into a gear no other club can get into."

Chris Sutton

"He's the closest thing I've seen to Henrik Larsson.

"The ability he has, the awareness. At this moment in time the £9million they paid is an absolute snip.

"Some of the link-up play again tonight has been exquisite."
