Some Celtic fans appear to be rather excited after witnessing an image that involves Karamoko Dembele ahead of their side’s upcoming Europa League game against Cluj.
The Hoops are at the top of their Europa League group, which has Lazio, Cluj and French side Rennes in it. They face Cluj in the last game on Thursday, with a spot at the top of the group already guaranteed this season for the first time in history.
Their last game saw the Hoops win the Scottish League Cup title by beating Rangers in the final on Sunday. Christopher Jullien scored a second-half winner to help them win the 19th League Cup title.
Celtic fans: Should Griffiths and Dembele start?
They deserve a start!
Not yet!
But ahead of the game against Cluj, some Hoops fans were clearly pleased to see Dembele.

Dembele is yet to make a single first-team appearance this season. His last appearance for the club came at the end of last season when he came on in the second-half to play against Hearts.
What do we think?
The Hoops are already guaranteed a top spot in the group, meaning that they will be able to make some changes. Lewis Morgan has played the last few games, meaning Griffiths should get a start- finally. Dembele is seen as a future star and Thursday will be the right time to give him a rather deserved chance.
