Tam McManus has praised Celtic winger Karamoko Dembele on Twitter.

The former Hibernian forward, who now works as a pundit for BBC Sport, believes that the 16-year-old winger “oozes class”.

The 38-year-old made the comments during Celtic’s Scottish Premiership game against Heart of Midlothian at Celtic Park on Sunday afternoon.

Dembele did not start the match, but the Scotland Under-17 international came on as a substitute at the start of the second half.

It was the talented and promising teenager’s debut for the Celtic first team, and the 16-year-old played well and showed what he is capable of.

Future Celtic star

Dembele is unlikely to establish himself in the Celtic first team anytime soon – after all, the winger is only 16 years of age.

However, the Scotsman has all the signs to be a star for the Glasgow giants in the coming years, and one should not be surprised if the youngster is a regular in the team after two or three years.
