Odsonne Edouard scored two goals against Azerbaijan in the UEFA European Under-21 Championship game on Thursday.
The Celtic striker has now racked up six goals in three games for France and has scored 9 times in 17 games for the Hoops so far this season. His total tally for Celtic is 42 goals in 98 appearances.
The 21-year-old is known for finding the back of the net in big games, and against Azerbaijan was no different.

It’s finishes like this that are not going unnoticed down south.
Former Rangers striker Kris Boyd stated he believes that Manchester United should make a big money summer move for Edouard.
He told Sky Sports: "Talk about playing with France, is it a possibility? Yes. Do I think he'll do it with Celtic? No.
"That'll be in the back of his mind, he'll need to make that move if he's going to get in the French squad.

"I don't think it'll be January, but come next summer, if there's something of £25-30million, which is reasonable for me, I think this guy will go to the very top.
"If I was Manchester United, I would come in and give the £25-30m in the summer.
"I wouldn't be surprised if a Brighton or an Aston Villa come in and pay the £30m for Odsonne Edouard and then he goes again."
Dan-Axel Zagadou, Houssem Aouar and Arnaud Nordin all scored for France to make the scoreline 5-0 at full time. France now sit second in Group B below Gerorgia.
