Karamoko Dembele is on the substitute bench for Celtic in their final Development League match of the season.

The 15-year-old is the most wanted teenager in European football with Scotland and England both keen to get him involved in their international set up.

Early last season Dembele caused a stir- as a 13-year-old- when he made a ten minute substitute appearance in the Development League against Hearts- attracting attention across the UK and beyond.

Celtic have looked after the teenager carefully within their Academy structure despite the attention and temptations of the biggest clubs in the world looking to sign him up.

Today’s match is the final fixture of the season for Tommy McIntyre’s side which has effectively been an u-19 side that has also been involved in the UEFA Youth League, Premier League International Cup as well as international commitments.

CELTIC: Willinson; Duffy, Welsh, Deas, Church; Bell, McInroy; Campbell, Caffrey, Henderson; Aitchison

SUBS: Hughes, Potter, Diver, Karamoko Dembele
