The Odsonne Edouard headline that is grabbing Celtic star all kinds of attention

The days of Odsonne Edouard playing second fiddle are well and truly over.

The early period of the Frenchman's Celtic career saw him somewhat in the shadow of countryman Moussa Dembele.

He was the main man up top, the big game player and the Hoops star grabbing the attention of Europe's top clubs.

Following Dembele's move to Lyon, Edouard has emerged as the Celtic faithful's latest hero.

And now exploits for France U-21s have exposed him to an even wider audience.

Celtic 's best-kept secret is out the bag and it won't be going back in, but with a bigger profile comes more scrutiny.

He's certainly grabbing headlines in France, with respected outlet Get France Football News producing an in-depth feature on Edouard that's getting all sorts of attention.

And not least for the headline, which you can see below.

It harks back to an incident the frontman was involved in while on-loan at Toulose from Paris Saint-Germain .

It was alleged Edouard fired an airgun at a pedestrian in February 2017 alongside team-mate Mathieu Cafaro.

After a hearing, Edouard was handed a four-month suspended prison sentence and ordered to a pay a fine plus damages to the individual involved.

It's an incident that seemingly hasn't been widely publicised, with some Twitter users expressing shock.

@4_RM_HRE said: "Okay this got my attention"

And @MultiMirionaire added: "Was that title reaaally necessary?"

It's worth noting this appears to have been an isolated event in Edouard's career, with no suggestion he's ever been in trouble before or after.
