In your teenage days two years can seem like a lifetime.
Two years ago the picture of an almost baby-faced Karamoko Dembele made headline news as the 13-year-old made a 10 minute substitute appearance for Celtic against Hearts.
This afternoon Dembele was back in the spotlight but looking very different to the kid that played against Hearts.

Most noticeably his upper body has been greatly developed, opponents won’t be knocking him off the ball any time soon.
There were a few hefty challenges aimed at Dembele today but since that appearance against Hearts in 2016 he has been a target in every game that he has played in.
In February, when he turns 16 he’ll be able to play in the Reserve League which will present a regular challenge, from today’s pictures it looks like the young Celt is physically ready for that task.
