The Celtic talent only recently celebrated his 15th birthday.

Karamoko Dembele of England during the U15 International between England and Turkey at St Georges Park on December 19, 2016 in Burton-upon-Trent, England.

Karamoko Dembele was among the goalscorers as Celtic’s Under-17s beat Rangers 5-2 in the Glasgow Cup on Wednesday.

Scott Robertson (two), Paul Kennedy and Barry Coffey were also on target as holders Celtic claimed group stage success.

Dembele made headlines in late 2016 when, then only 13 years of age, he appeared for the Bhoys’ Under-20 side.

And he appears to be progressing well, after recently entering his 16th year.

Here’s what Celtic fans are saying about Dembele’s latest exploits on Twitter…

Dembele was born in London, but moved to Glasgow when he was one year old. His international future remains uncertain, however, having represented both Scotland and England at youth level.

Dembele, who is no relation to Celtic striker Moussa Dembele, does have a brother, Siriki, at Grimsby Town.

Moussa Dembele celebrates his 2nd goal (Celtic's 4th) during the Betfred Cup Semi-Final at Hampden Park on October 21, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Their sister, Macoula, told the Daily Record earlier this year that Celtic coach Kolo Toure is a distant uncle of the trio.

Dembele’s victims, Rangers, lost their own teenage prospect, Billy Gilmour, to Chelsea last year.

Will Karamoko Dembele ever play for Celtic’s first team?
