The U13s midfielder came on in the 81st minute of Celtic's 3-1 victory over Hearts in the SPFL Development League at Cappielow.

Manager Tommy McIntyre decided to introduce Dembele with nine minutes remaining in place of Jack Aitchison.

A report on the Celtic website read: "The diminutive playmaker didn't look out of place and played his part in the closing stages."

The schoolboy's skill and talent had previously been flagged up to a wider audience in a series of online video clips.

Rory Currie opened the scoring for Hearts after 35 minutes but a brace from centre-half Jamie McCart either side of a Broque Watson goal gave Celtic U20 a 3-1 win.
