Karamoko Dembele's meteoric rise hit another landmark on Thursday when he was handed the captain's armband by England U16s.
The Celtic prodigy led the Three Lions out before adding his name to the scoresheet in a 5-0 thumping of the Ivory Coast.
Dembele , who turned 16 earlier this year, has yet to commit his international future having turned out for Scotland and England at youth level.
And Scottish youth coaches will be hoping the honour of leading out the Auld Enemy won't away him when it comes to making a decision.
Ironically, Dembele's parents were born in the Ivory Coast, meaning he is eligible to play for Les Elephants too.
Celtic made sure they got Dembele tied down long term back in December when they handed the Glasgow school kid his first professional contract.
He has since become a regular for the Hoops' reserves and has been tipped to make his first appearance in a top team squad in the near future.

Dembele burst onto the scene as a 13-year-old when he featured for Celtic U20s.
He is is fast becoming Scottish football's hottest young property.
