13-year-old Karamoko Dembele came off the bench for Celtic's Under-20 development team on Monday night, making his debut alongside players seven years his senior.

Despite being at a noticeable physical disadvantage among his peers, the match report on Celtic's official website said the " diminutive playmaker did not look out of place" in his nine-minute cameo.

The tricky Ivorian prodigy has attracted interest online previously, after his displays in the prestigious St Kevin's Boys club tournament in Dublin this summer.

YouTube compilations of his best moments have been put together, some accompanied by the rather outlandish tag of the 'new [Lionel] Messi.'

He was given his chance in the  Under-20 side with a whole host of players away with Scotland Under-19s.

Dembele is no relation to Belgian first team forward Moussa Dembele, who arrived at the club on a four-year deal from Fulham in the summer.

He has quickly taken to life in Scotland, scoring five goals in seven Premiership games, as well as twice putting Celtic ahead in the 3-3 draw with Manchester City in the Champions League.
