Celtic starlet Karamoko Dembele continues to catch the eye for the reserves.
A number of Celtic fans have taken to Twitter to react to Karamoko Dembele’s winning goal during the 3-2 victory against Hearts for the Hoops’ reserves side on Monday.
It is no secret that Dembele is the most exciting prospect currently coming through at Parkhead. He made his under-20 debut at the age of 13 and has been involved in first-team training in more recent times.
Having turned 16 last month, he is now eligible to make his senior debut for the Bhoys. And he is arguably putting Neil Lennon under a little pressure to consider handing him that first-team bow in the near future.
It was Dembele who helped Celtic’s reserves come out on top in a five-goal thriller against their Hearts counterparts on Monday. After taking a 2-0 lead, the Hoops were pegged back to 2-2 heading into stoppage-time.
But the Scotland under-17 international ensured that Celtic snatched the win as he curled a free-kick from the corner of the box into the back of the net – though some have suggested that Marvin Compper may have got a final touch.
Unsurprisingly, plenty of Celtic fans have urged Lennon to hand the teenager his senior chance before too long. He seems to be more than comfortable at reserves level, and is showing glimpses of quality that hint that he may soon be ready to make an impact for the first-team.
