Watch as former Celtic starlet Karamoko Dembele scores stunning FA Cup goal

Ex-Celtic starlet Karamoko Dembele netted a stunning goal for Blackpool in the FA Cup against Bromley.

The winger glided through the opposition. half, changed direction and then drived towards the box before pinging a low pass into the feet of Kylian Kouassi and racing on to meet the dinked return pass with a clinical finish.

Dembele is currently on loan at the English League One side from Ligue 1 side Brest after leaving the Hoops at the beginning of the 2022-23 campaign.

He gained widespread attention at the age of 13 when he made his debut for Celtic's under-20 side against players who were up to seven years older than him.

You can watch his goal in the video below.

Meanwhile, Brendan Rodgers was unimpressed by the decision to disallow two Celtic goals against Ross County.

The Scottish champions ran out 3-0 winners in the highlands thanks to strikes from David Turnbull,  Luis Palma and James Forrest.

Liam Scales thought he had put the visitors in front in Dingwall but his finish was chopped off after Oh Hyeon-gyu was judged to have fouled a Ross County player in the build-up.

Then South Korea international himself then had a goal disallowed when Daizen Maeda was ruled to be offside before playing in the cross.

And while Rodgers was pleased with his side's performance, he feels they unfairly missed out on a higher scoreline.

Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: "I thought we created a lot of chances and had some goals disallowed that I would need to see again, especially the offside and even the one before that early on.

"You have two guys jumping for the ball and the ball lands and we finish, and it is not given as a goal. I did not see that as a good decision, but the guys kept going and persevering."
