Karamoko Dembele was pictured training with the Celtic first team today.

The 16-year-old scored in Celtic’s opening pre-season friendly away to Pinkafeld but was recently out injured for a month.

Dembele has scored for the reserves against Morton and Albion Rovers over the last fortnight with Neil Lennon looking to fully integrate him into the first team squad.

The Celtic boss had no major injury worries to report after Thursday’s 2-0 win over Cluj but is expected to make a couple of changes for the trip to Livingston.

Mikey Johnston will be back in the squad alongside Nir Bitton who was among the substitutes against Cluj as Celtic moved to top spot in Europa League Group E.

A win for the hoops will keep them clear at the top of the SPFL Premiership going into the international break with Celtic’s next match at home to Ross County in a fortnight.
