WATCHING a 16-year-old who's still doing his school work give France their Euro 2024 jotters should be a lesson to us all.
Lamine Yamal has been absolutely sensational in Germany and his goal to help send Les Bleus UEFA packing on Tuesday night had me picking my jaw off the floor.
He's another example of the old cliche that if you're FOUNDA good enough then you're old enough.
And boy, Yamal is frighteningly good.
Okay talents like the Barcelona wonderkid don't come around often, especially in Scotland, but I'd love to see more of our managers take a punt on youngsters.
We don't see enough of it.
It gets fans excited and gives other young hopefuls proof that dreams really can come true.
Yamal is on a different level right enough. It's tough for a 16-year-old to play against grown men at any level.
