Karamoko Dembele made a 45 minute appearance for Celtic in the 1-1 draw with Aberdeen in the Development League at Forfar this afternoon.
The 15-year-old replaced Ewan Henderson at the interval as Tommy McIntyre’s squad came from behind to grab a draw.
Dembele is the most wanted teenager in European football with the biggest names in England, Spain and Germany watching his every move.
Last week the attacking midfielder scored twice for England’s u-15 side against Austria with both Scotland and England hoping to get him to commit to their colours.
