The France U21 international scored a hat-trick in the 5-2 win over St Johnstone, was on target in the 2-0 win over Motherwell and then scored both goals as the Hoops beat Hamilton by the same score.

Dembele has now scored 32 goals in his first season in Scotland and his prolific February also included a second hat-trick, which came in the 6-0 Scottish FA Cup win over Inverness.

He has opened March by scoring three more goals in wins over Caley Thistle and St Mirren.

Dembele said: "I'm on a good run, but in terms of confidence, I would say I would be confident even if I wasn't scoring.

"I believe in the squad. I just work as hard as I can and I think the little break in Dubai has made us stronger. We have to stay focused and keep producing the same football until the season is completely over."
