Karamoko Dembele made his Celtic debut at Parkhead today.
A lot of Celtic fans on Twitter believe that they witnessed the future in the form of Karamoko Dembele today.
The pint-sized attacker, who turned 16 in February, made his Celtic debut in the visit of Hearts at Parkhead this afternoon.
Dembele replaced the ineffective Oliver Burke at half-time and stunned the home fans with his raw ability.
The teenager has been one of the worst kept secrets in Scottish football for a couple of years.
He has been ripping it up in the youth ranks for a while, but he demonstrated today that the senior game doesn’t faze him one iota and many Hoops supporters were shocked at how impressive he looked, this early.
Managing the hype is now of paramount importance for Celtic.
In this day and age, young players can become sensations overnight and the pressure of dazzling on a weekly basis can have a negative impact on their mentality.
Neil Lennon must resist the urge to use him in the Scottish Cup final next week. Based on this cameo, there will be a lot of expectation on a kid who has only turned 16.
