The 13-year-old made his debut for Celtic’s Under-20 side on Monday evening.
Having made his debut for Celtic’s Under-20 side at the tender age of just 13, bookmakers Ladrokes are already offering a range of specials on Karamoko Dembele.
The teenager came off the bench to play in Celtic’s 3-1 victory over Hearts in the SPFL Development League, and fans can already place bets on what he might achieve later in his career.
Celtic legend Henrik Larsson scored 242 goals for the Scottish giants, and Ladrokes are offering odds of 66/1 for Dembele to outscore the Swede in green and white.

While it may take a long time for that bet to pay out, a more realistic special available is for Dembele to become Celtic’s youngest ever first team player, which is offered at a price of 7/4.
In 2004, Larsson left Celtic and joined Barcelona, and Ladbrokes are offering a price of 33/1 for Dembele to sign for the Catalan club at any point in his career.

Scott Brown currently dons the captain’s armband for Celtic, but with an eye to the future, you can get odds as short as 12/1 for 13-year-old Dembele to captain the Hoops at some point in the future.
If fans are happy to wait for their bet to come in, then these specials on a youngster with a bright future might be tempting.
