The Celtic Academy twitter feed congratulated some of their young players yesterday evening after they pulled on the Scotland jersey in a win against Russia.
FOUR Celtic academy stars took part in the game with all eyes on Karamoko who has still to decide where his international future lies.

However, it’s not just Karamoko who is making headlines – young Dylan Forrest continues to impress for club and country and got the captain’s armband.
One analyst believes he’s the player to watch in the coming years.
For those that like their ones to watch Dylan Forrest, of Celtic and Scotland U17s is a name for the notebooks. Definitely one to follow. https://t.co/jKg1d3YOdJ

The Friendly in Murcia was a warm-up for the under 17s ahead of there three matches later on in the year in the UEFA U17 Championship qualifiers where the Scotland side will take on Kosovo, Cyprus and Switzerland.
Forrest seems a bit of a character already, last year a video of the young Celtic star went viral after he was seen in the bottom corner of the screen giving it stinking to an England player after a Scotland goal.
