Joshua McPake was in action for Ibrox club Glasgow Rangers in the Scottish FA Youth Cup on Thursday, while Karamoko Dembele featured for Celtic.
Tam McManus has praised Celtic teenage talent Karamoko Dembele and Rangers prodigy Joshua McPake on Twitter.
The former Hibernian forward, who now works as a pundit for BBC Sport, was impressed with the performances of 16-year-old Celtic winger Dembele and 17-year-old Rangers winger McPake during the Scottish FA Youth Cup final between the Hoops and the Gers at Hampden Park in Glasgow on Thursday evening.
Rangers won the final 3-2, thanks to goals from Ciaran Dickson, Dapo Mebude and Nathan Young-Coombes.
McManus was following the match, and he was hugely impressed with Dembele and McPake.
First-team chances?
Dembele is only 16 years of age, and McPake is just 17, which means that it will take the Celtic and the Rangers youngsters a while to break into the first teams at the Hoops and the Gers.
The two winners are still developing and progressing as footballers, and it may not be wise to throw them in so early into the first team.
