The younger brother of Karamoko Dembele has signed his first professional deal with Celtic.
Hassan Dembele, 16, could now be set to follow in the footsteps of his brother in the Parkhead Academy.
In 2016, Karamoko Dembele pulled huge headlines when he played for Celtic's Onder-20 team in the tender age of only 13.
Dembele would make his senior debut for Celtic in May 2019, but never managed to give a place in the club's long -term plans.
Despite his obvious talents as a skilled dribbler of the ball, he was eventually moved to the French side Brest and he has since been oriented in Blackpool and QPR.
But Hassan Dembele will hope to progress in the coming years and force his way to Celtic's first team plans.
The announcement of the Academy players to have signed contracts, was a Celtic declaration: 'With the 2025/26 season on the Horizon, Hassan Dembele, Nathan MeeChan, Joseph Haney, Rocco di Giacomo, Emmanuel Obidiwe Valley Valhillas and Kayden have the Prapelieren and Kayden Plearelen and Kayden Plearelen and Kayden Plearelen and Kayden Plearen and Kayden Plearen To the club.
'For every young player at Celtic, they only have to watch the first team of the men for inspiration to see players such as Captain, Callum McGregor, James Forrest, Kieran Tierney, Anthony Ralston, Stephen Welsh and Ross Doohan, who all passed through the academy and in the first team.
“Everyone at Celtic Football Club wishes the players the very best and we look forward to seeing how their career is developing with the hoops in the coming years.”
A suitable farewell to Lisbon Lion John Clark
Celtic supporters are invited to say a final farewell to the late John Clark when his funeral is held in Glasgow on Friday.
With the Cortege that passes Celtic Park at around 1.15 pm, fans are expected to descend on the stadium in large numbers.
The Lisbon Lion, who died last week at the age of 84, will be remembered as a giant of the club.
During a lifetime dedicated to Celtic, he served them in different roles, from player to coach, assistant manager and kitman.
The highlight was of course that iconic day in 1967 when he was a defensive pillar on the side that the European Cup won.
A sanctuary of scarves, wreaths and messages is already formed in Celtic Park, where Clark is honored as one of their most popular legends.
His funeral will be held in the afternoon in St Mary's Church. Although there will be limited space in, the service will be broadcast live on the YouTube channel of the club.
Those who want to express their respect are invited by the club to gather in the stadium, where the Cortege will travel over the Celtic way.
In a statement, the club said: 'John Clark was a Lisbon Lion, a cornerstone of our largest team ever and a dedicated servant of Celtic for seven decades. This Friday we will come together to honor his incredible legacy. '
Celtic Captain still hurts the last flop
Callum McGregor still hurts from the Shock Scottish Cup Final Demies of last season against Aberdeen.
The Hoops skipper walked through what he then described as 'the worst moment I have ever had in football' in May after his penalty was saved by Aberdeen -keeper Dimitar Mitov in the Shootout -the defeat that denied the side of Brendan Rodgers a domestic treble.
More than five weeks after his pain in Hampden, McGregor still talks about it …
“It was a difficult moment, it is not gone,” said the 32-year-old.
'I think it just gives you more motivation to achieve even more.
'It is the ones that you don't win with you and feed the fire for you, so I had a few weeks off to digest it and try to find a positive somewhere.
'It's just that it makes me hungry to be successful and to win even more.
'I've been here for a long time, there are highlights, there are lows and you have to try to find an even keel and keep yourself in a beautiful balanced headroom.
“There have been ups and downs during my career and I have always succeeded in bouncing back, so that I see this no different.”
Taylor's move is certainly not all Greek …
Greg Taylor's move to Paok sees him becoming a small and relatively non -separating band of Scottish football players who made the switch to Greece – but there is one success story that he would undoubtedly like to emulate.
Given that it is a left back and one was a center-forward, it is very unlikely that too many comparisons have been drawn between Taylor and Craig Bewster. But hear us out – a transfer to the Balkan peninsula is not the only link between the two.
Just like Taylor, Brewster was an undervalued top artist who eliminated and eventually proved his value. Both men were thrown away in their youth – Brewster by United, Taylor by Rangers – before they got the most out of their second chances respectively, at Forfar and Kilmarnock.
More importantly, both men were confronted with the task of filling huge boots on arrival at their important Scottish football posts. Taylor of course arrived in Celtic after the departure from Kieran Tierney to Arsenal a month earlier.
Replacing Tierney, a sale of £ 25 million and a huge favorite with fans, would have been a long order for a multi-million pound signing of the Serie A, let alone an acquisition of the Kilmarnock Price.
While Taylor had made his introduction to the international stage by the time his Celtic calling arrived, many thought that his former Rugbypark manager Steve Clarke in the HotSeat then had some significant potential at top level. Stuart Findlay and Eamonn Brophy had finally received comparable recognition.
But Taylor won the doubters in the same pursued way that he applied in his beat on the left flank, to the extent that Rodgers hated him to lose, despite the fact that he had protected Tierney's return on a preceding appointment.
If the occasional fragile fitness of Tierney does not maintain its second arrival, some Parkhead -fans can throw jealous eyes to the Aegean Sea.
In the case of Brewster, the man he was bought enjoyed to replace a reputation that little has ever been matched about these coasts. Duncan Ferguson may have spent only a few seasons in the first team of Dundee United, but his impact was sufficient to convince Rangers to work out a record compensation of £ 4 million for his services.
He had already made a surprising introduction to the national team of Scotland and seemed to have the world at his feet.
It took Brewster the time to fully understand his second chance at Tannadice – to score the winner against Rangers in the 1994 Scottish Cup finale, so that the men of Walter Smith denied a double treble in the trial, and he was 29 when he benefited from the Bosman pronunciation.
What followed, however, raised the trend for Scottish at that time abroad. Brewster clearly took a friendly to play in the sun and enjoyed a five -year -old Stint just outside Athens, and became something of a club legend when his modest outfit competed with a distinction in the upper reaches of the Greek top flight.
Brewster was not ready there either, because at the age of 34 he returned to Scotland for a huge productive few seasons that disturb defenders in the colors of Hibernian, Dunfermline and Inverness, among other things.
So five years in the sun, earning praises and winning the hearts of fans, followed by a return to Scotland to underline an accomplished career? Celtic Confidential Rooks Taylor would now register for that.
Oh, and as for those other Scots that have become Greek? A Reisman Lee Bullen had a brew -like spell in Kalamata before he returned to high performance with Dunfermline and Sheffield on Wednesday, while Mark Kerr and Steven Tweed did less well, making only a handful of performances each at Isteras Tripolis and Ionikos.
Islam Feruz once played for Ofi Crete on loan from Chelsea and Jordan Holsgrove, born in Edinburgh, did not fail to make a single appearance in his time in Olympiakos.
