15-year-old Karamoko Dembele scored for Celtic’s Under-17 side on Wednesday night.

Celtic wonderkid Karamoko Dembele was among the goalscorers as the Hoops’ Under-17 side thrashed their Rangers equivalent 5-2 in the Glasgow Cup on Wednesday night.

Early goals from Scott Robertson and Paul Kennedy put Celtic 2-0 ahead, before the 15-year-old prospect added a fourth goal for the Bhoys in the second period.

On 80 minutes, Barry Coffey bagged a fifth to make it 5-2 on what was a hugely successful night for the young Celts.

And their achievement did not go unnoticed, with first-team hitman Moussa Dembele reacting to the win on Twitter.

The senior lads at Parkhead also have an Old Firm derby on the horizon.

Brendan Rodgers’s side visit Ibrox on Sunday for what could be a huge game in the context of the Scottish Premiership title.

Defeat for the visitors – who have a game in hand – would see Rangers reduce the deficit to three points and Rodgers’s troops would have a serious fight on their hands to go on and win a seventh successive league crown.
