The hype surrounding this guy in the media is huge. Odds available on him beating Larsson's goalscoring record, signing for Barcelona and more already. Sure, what a talent at 13, but hopefully he won't crumble under all the scrutiny or lose his way. Celtic need to handle him with care. That said, I do imagine him signing autographs for teachers at school and having an entourage of giggling girls following him around the playground... I just hope he doesn't go the same way as someone like Freddy Adu. Hopefully not. Edited by AG67, 5 Oct 2016, 10:05 AM.

While I get the reasoning behind playing this boy in 20's (to add extra 0's on the end of fee we get and to attract attention of the other big clubs rather than just the English who are hovering) it doesn't sit right that Celtic as a club should be putting pounds ahead of the safety of the boy. I get he's incredibly gifted but his body hasn't developed as much as his talent and should some 19, 20 or even first team player cemented him or even fell with 14 or 15 stone landing on the boys knee then would that have been worth the extra money? Not to mention the ridiculous attention the kid will now be getting which he might not be able to cope with. Surely this is another example of the Celtic business being put in front of the Celtic 'family'/ good of the boy |

I really don't think money was the reasoning behind him getting on the pitch for 10 minutes and I you might have overestimated how much value playing in an under 20s game in Scotland actually adds. 14 or 15 stone?? He wasn't playing against Samoa |

He got a whole 9 minutes for eff sake and has already been stated even that was purely due to circumstances and it may be a long while before he sees any action at that level again. |

Feeney said: “Rangers never bothered with him and yet he was a Govan-based boy, living on their doorstep. “The only reason they found out about him was I was talking to a coach I know at Murray Park. “He invited us in for a game and we beat them. They were astounded no scout from Rangers had spotted Karamoko. “He grew up in Shaw Street, Govan. We trained in Elder Park and at Lourdes Secondary during that time. It doesn't astound me, i can see why he wasn't spotted. |

Jimmy Mallen was 15 years and 286 days old when he made his first-team debut in 1942. It was during the War leagues though. Next youngest (in order) are Aitchison, Fotheringham, Kennedy, Aitken, Davie Mclean (1907), John McCluskey (1977) and Brian McLaughlin (1971). All 16 when they made their debuts. |

I'm certain that Hamilton Accies included an 14 year old Goalkeeper in their U20s side last season or the season before for a few games....he has since signed for Celtic Also see that a young Irish keeper we had Alex Crean has now signed for Arsenal, best of luck to the guy, only saw him the once and wasn't overly impressed. |

Michael McGlinchey and Paul George also made appearances at 15; both in friendlies. And both signed their contracts on the pitch at Celtic Park. Edited by Barrabhoy1, 5 Oct 2016, 01:06 PM.

Does anyone honestly think our youth coaches would throw the guy in if they didn't think he was capable of handling it? They'll have watched him in training and have a good understanding of his capabilities. He'll be back playing at a lower level after the international but will have gained a bit of confidence from this run out and will no doubt have a better understanding of where he needs to improve. |

For context, Bobo Balde was between 13 and 14 stones and John Hartson was around 15 at his heaviest for us!
