Celtic attacker Karamoko Dembele made a brilliant debut at Parkhead at the weekend.

Callum McGregor has told the Scottish Sun that Celtic wonderkid Karamoko Dembele looked comfortable as soon as he was put into first-team training.

Dembele is still only 16, but there is huge excitement about his future at Celtic.

The young attacker put in a brilliant debut, after being introduced by Neil Lennon at half-time in Celtic’s match against Hearts at the weekend.

The Bhoys picked up a 2-1 win, with Dembele’s fearless performance in the second half picking up plenty of praise.

There has even been suggestions that Dembele could feature for Celtic in the cup final next weekend.

And McGregor insists that if the youngster was handed a chance to play again for the Bhoys he wouldn’t be fazed by the occasion.

“It’s a massive talent to have at such a young age. If he was to get on at the weekend in the Scottish Cup Final it would be an amazing achievement,” McGregor said.

“It certainly seems like nothing fazes him. As soon as he came into first team training, he looked comfortable. He isn’t overawed.”

Lennon suggested earlier in the week that Dembele wouldn’t feature for Celtic in the final, but that could have been a bluff.

Celtic’s final comes against Hearts at Hamden Park on Saturday, as they look to win the domestic treble for the third time in a row.
