14-year-old prodigy Karamoko Dembele looked electric as he scored his first Scotland goal on Tuesday afternoon.

The Celtic youngster was on the bench for the Under 16s international tournament clash against Qatar this afternoon and had to watch on for the first 50 minutes before getting a run-out.

He didn't waste any time in making an impact after being brought on, winning a penalty for Scotland's fourth goal of the game before sprinting beyond the Qatar defence to finish for the fifth:

Dembele already looks a lot bigger than when he burst on to the scene last year after being played in a Celtic Under 20s fixture.

He's already appeared for England's youth team since then and it's still not certain which country he'll pledge his allegiance too.

But the fact he's in an SFA Performance School and scoring goals for Scotland now should offer hope that he'll stay in blue and white.

Back in June, Celtic persuaded Dembele to sign a contract extension with the club. The Hoops star shot to fame last year after playing for the club's development team at the age of 13.

He made headlines around the world, adding to the stories already written about his talent in the club's youth academy.

In a statement on celticfc.net, Dembele said: "I'm delighted to have signed at such a wonderful club and I think this is the right place for me to fulfil my potential and achievements. And my goal is to reach the first team.

"It's not going to be easy becoming a footballer at such a big club, but I will show hard work, commitment and the biggest one for me, responsibility.

"With Celtic being responsible for my development and what I do in my football career, I have wonderful people around me nurturing my talent and it's up to me to put the hard work in."
