Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard has been named Scottish Premiership Player of the Month for August.
Edouard scored three goals for league champions Celtic last month, including the opening goal in a 2-0 Old Firm derby win against Rangers at Ibrox on September 1, which is included as the game was originally scheduled for the previous day.
The 21-year-old, also scored against Sarajevo in the Champions League second qualifying round, in defeat against Cluj and victory against AIK in the Europa League play-off first-leg Sweden.
Edouard, who signed permanently last summer from Paris Saint-Germain after a successful season-long loan, also won the award in March as Celtic went on to win a historic "treble treble".
The Frenchman is reportedly a transfer target for Serie A club Napoli after finding the net 40 times in all competitions since making his Hoops debut in 2017, but he believes he still has a lot to prove at Celtic.
"I actually didn't know about this (the report) and it doesn't really matter. At the moment I'm a Celtic player," Edouard said.
"I've got a season to play, I've got a long contract, I'm really happy with the way I'm playing, the set-up here and I'm really happy to play with my friends for the team.
"The main thing at the moment is I'm a Celtic player and I'm happy to be a Celtic player.
"I've still got a lot to prove with Celtic, as part of the Celtic team. There's a long season ahead of us, we need to concentrate on that.
"The key is I've got to prove myself here first."
Celtic boss Neil Lennon was named Manager of the Month as the Hoops won all four of their league matches ahead of September's international break.
