Karamoko Dembele was the star of the show after helping Scotland ’s kids run riot against Qatar.

The 14-year-old Celtic striker netted a brilliant solo effort and was the architect of another three goals after coming on after the break at the Oriam.

Dembele ’s display in the opening match of the Under-16 tournament will increase the attention on the youngster who’s been at the centre of an international tug-of-war having also played for England Under-15s.

It’s been a meteoric rise for a player who also made headlines last October by making his debut for Celtic’s Under-20s at the age of 13.

This was an emphatic Scottish display from start to finish.

Hamilton’s Andrew Winter opened the scoring before Cole Starrs' penalty was touched on to the post only for the Motherwell striker to slam in the follow-up.

Starrs grabbed his second after the break and Celtic’s Michael Sparkes hit a fourth before Dembele surged into the box and side-footed a clever finish into the far corner of the net.

Hamilton’s Jamie Hamilton prodded in a sixth and Sparkes made it seven with two minutes remaining as the young Scots now get ready to face England at the Oriam tomorrow night.
