Dembele famously made a substitute appearance in the old Development League in October 2016 but the Reserve League which started this season doesn’t allow anyone under 16 to take part.
This season he has been able to play in the Glasgow Cup which is set at u-20 age group with Celtic enjoying comfortable wins over Partick Thistle and Queens Park.
On Wednesday a Celtic XI will take part in a friendly against Sunderland which could see Vakoun Issouf Bayo make his first appearance since his January transfer.
Next week Celtic’s reserve side play Falkirk in the Reserve League at Cappielow with the first fixture that Dembele can play in scheduled for March 5 away to Dundee.
