England plot move to snatch 13-year-old Celtic wonderkid Karamoko Dembele from Scotland's clutches
- Celtic wonderkid Karamoko Dembele is the target of an England swoop
- The 13-year-old Dembele has made international headlines this week
- Dembele came off the bench for Celtic’s Under-20s side against Hearts
- The Football Association hope to take him from Scotland's clutches
- Dembele was born in London to parents from the Ivory Coast, but moved to Glasgow when he was five

Genau solche Schlagzeilen meine ich! Da sollten die Verbände sich sehr genau überlegen, wie (und ob überhaupt) sie jetzt schon an einen 13jährigen herantreten sollten, auf den ohnehin gerade viel zuviel Aufmerksamkeit einprasselt. Und die Medien sollten sich auch mal hinterfragen, die jeden Lufthauch um den Jungen gleich zu einer Riesenschlagzeile aufpusten! Alle Parteien sollten da mal mindestens zwei Stufen runterfahren, denn wenn jetzt jeder Kurzeinsatz Dembeles in einer Liga, die ansonsten ja wirklich nur die eingefleischtesten Fans interessiert, derart medial begleitet wird, dann hat er wirklich keine Chance mehr auf eine auch nur halbwegs normale Entwicklung!

So, und damit zurück zum Tagesgeschäft:

Young Hoops stung by early Jags strike
CELTIC’S Development Squad slipped to their second league defeat of the season after going down 1-0 to Partick Thistle at Firhill today (Friday). The Bhoys were undone with a well-worked passing move in the opening minutes, with Declan McDaid supplying the finishing touch past Fasan, and the home side held on to their narrow advantage for the rest of the game. Sam Wardrop was unlucky not to level matters in the second-half when his direct header was stopped on the line by the Jags defence but the Celts struggled to create many other clear-cut chances against an experienced and organised Thistle side.

Bhoys bounce back with victory over Dundee
SAM Wardrop’s headed goal saw Celtic’s Development Squad deservedly seal a 1-0 victory over Dundee and bounce back from last week’s defeat to Partick Thistle. The defender was in the right place to find the net from Aidan McIlduff’s pinpoint cross three minutes before the interval after the Bhoys had enjoyed the better of the first half. Tommy McIntyre’s team remained in control of the contest throughout the second period, with the home side unable to trouble the Hoops rearguard, even when the youths were reduced to 10 men for the closing minutes when Brandon Payne received a straight red card.

Bhoys beaten by clinical Barcelona
CELTIC’S youngsters were undone by a clinical and classy Barcelona side at Cappielow in their penultimate UEFA Youth League group match of the season. Jordi Mboula bagged a brace for the visitors, before Jeremy Guillemenot struck a killer third goal just before the break to leave the Bhoys with it all to do in the second half. Tommy McIntyre’s side pushed forward after the interval in search of a route back into the contest but it was Catalan side who next found the net through Dani Garcia. To their credit, the young Celts continued to persevere and they netted the goal that their efforts deserved in the final 10 minutes through Jack Aitchison.

Late drama as Aitchison strikes to seal draw with Hamilton
JACK AITCHISON’s dramatic late equaliser saw Celtic claim a share of the spoils with Hamilton Accies in the SPFL Development league after twice falling behind to the Lanarkshire side at Cappielow. After a fairly quite first-half that saw the Hoops edge the game in terms of chances, the action burst into life with just over 20 minutes left as Hamilton’s Lewis Ferguson opened the scoring from close range. Tommy McIntyre’s side were back level just two minutes later, however, when Luke Donnelly slammed home from inside the area to get his team back into the game. After making all their changes, the Hoops pushed for a winner but were caught out at the other end as Marc Kelly put the visitors back in front with a low finish but Celtic had the final say in the dying stages when substitute Jack Aitchison fired in a last-minute equaliser to seal a point for the Celts.

Development Squad see off Inverness in Highland clash
CELTIC got back to winning ways in the SPFL Development League with a 1-0 victory over Inverness CT. In a dominant performance from the young Celts, a first-half own goal gave them the three points in difficult conditions in the Highlands. Tommy McIntyre's side controlled possession from start to finish and could have won by a healthier margin but for the woodwork and an impressive goalkeeping performance from the Caley keeper. Due to their involvement in other competitions such as the UEFA Youth League, Scottish Youth Cup and Premier League International Cup, Celtic are currently playing catch-up in the Development League, having played up to five games fewer than some of their opponents.

Die Saison der U-20 bleibt durchwachsen. Zuletzt gab es einen 2-0 Sieg gegen St Johnstone, dann wieder eine 0-3 Niederlage gegen Dunfermline. Heute Nachmittag stand dann das Glasgow Derby auf dem Programm:


Young Hoops ease to Glasgow derby win
CALVIN Miller’s clinical first-half strike gave Celtic a deserved 1-0 Glasgow derby victory at Murray Park as the young Hoops started 2017 with a comfortable win. Despite the narrow scoreline, Tommy McIntyre’s side eased past their city rivals at Murray Park, dominating possession and creating a string of chances that could have made the win much more emphatic had they been converted. Miller’s strike, his first since making his top-team bow at the end of December, came just before half-time and gave the Hoops the foothold in the game their play deserved but they couldn’t add to their advantage. The win nonetheless helped the Celts bounce back from the disappointing 3-0 loss to Dunfermline at Lennoxtown that ended their fixtures for 2016, and saw them climb a further three points up the table with a number of games still in hand over the league leaders.

Das Auf und Ab geht weiter, letzte Woche eine 0-1 Niederlage in Aberdeen, heute ein ĂĽberzeugender 4-0 Sieg gegen Falkirk:


Bhoys cruise past Bairns in Development League
CELTIC Development Squad cruised to a 4-0 victory over 10-man Falkirk tonight to get back to winning ways in the league. An early first-half strike from Luke Donnelly asserted the Celts’ advantage in an entertaining and tight first-half but they were soon pulling out of sight when the Hoops hit-man grabbed his second from the spot just three minutes after the interval after Mark Hill had been fouled in the box. Less than 10 minutes later and the Bairns’ night went from bad to worse when striker Kevin O’Hara was dismissed for an elbow in the face of Fiacre Kelleher and it wasn’t long before the Bhoys capitalised, grabbing their third through substitute PJ Crossan. The fourth and final strike came from Regan Hendry with just 10 minutes left, capping off a clinical performance from the young Hoops and helping them get over the disappointing loss to the Dons in their last outing.

Young Celts produce stunning second-half comeback to win derby
A STUNNING second-half performance saw Celtic’s Development Squad overturn a two-goal deficit to beat Partick Thistle 5-2 at Cappielow, with Mikey Johnston scoring four of the five goals. When the referee blew the whistle for half-time, it was a disappointed Hoops side who trooped off the park, having conceded two goals without reply in a first 45 minutes played in atrocious weather conditions. Come the final whistle, however, and there was jubilation amongst those wearing green and white Hooped jerseys as their determination and endeavour was rewarded with five goals, replicating the scoreline of the first-team from 24 hours beforehand.
