Moussa Dembele has insisted that he wasn't distracted by any transfer speculation last week as Chelsea noted their interest in the striker.

There has been incessant chat about Dembele's long-term future from the early days of his Celtic career but the 19-year-old cut a relaxed figure as he discussed his hat-trick against St Johnstone.

"I don’t really listen to what has been said in the media," he said. "I don’t really follow it.

"I just try to do my best when I;m out on the pitch and show everyone the level of how good I am.

"It’s easy not to get distracted, I’m a very calm kind of guy and I don’t really let this type of thing get in my head. I focus only on enjoying my football at Celtic and I’m very happy to be here.

"It motivates me to keep doing well. I’m happy to be here and I hope to be here as long as I can."

The striker took to social media last Tuesday night to tell the Celtic fans that he was going nowhere, posting a snap of Leonardi di Caprio's character Jordan Belfort in the move The Wolf of Wall Street.

The image came from a scene in the movie where the character insisted - in the language of the street - that he was not going anywhere and Dembele believes some light humour is the best way to deal with any talk about his future.

“I had a bit of fun with it, it’s the best way," he said. "There’s no need to speak when you see the picture!"

Meanwhile, Tommy Wright looks certain to be in trouble with the SFA after his stinging criticism of Craig Thomson.

The Saints manager was rightly aggrieved at the penalty which drew Celtic level and couldn't conceal his ire in the immediate aftermath of the game.

"If I live to be 100 it should never be a penalty," said Wright. "Never. How he gives it is beyond me, beyond any reasonable person how can be 100 per cent sure that is a penalty.

“He couldn’t wait to give the penalty.

“I shouted to him on the pitch and he gestured that both hands were up and it was almost as if he had caught the ball which didn’t happen. It hit his hip.

“It does touch his elbow which is in but you can’t see that until you see the camera angle from behind the goal so how can he give it. He has to be 100 per cent. It is a game changer. It turned the whole dynamic of the game. It gives a great side like Celtic a massive lift and almost knocked the stuffing out of us."
