The former Leicester midfielder conceded that Celtic were a team to be reckoned with during Martin O'Neill's time in charge, when the Hoops boasted the likes of Henrik Larsson, Neil Lennon, John Hartson and Chris Sutton in their ranks.
Many have argued that current Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has all the talent at his disposal to recreate the magic that O'Neill did but Savage believes that the side's top scorer this term, Moussa Dembele, is simply too good for the football club.
