Scott Brown says Celtic have two very promising players for the future in Kyle Ure and Jude Bonnar.
The Parkhead legend has the young duo on loan at Ayr United in the Championship this season and both have impressed him as they help his side in their quest to be promoted through the play-offs.
Ure, a central midfield player, made 15 appearances for the Honest Men before a nasty injury curtailed that and Brown has branded the left-footer a "mini Callum McGregor."
Speaking on The Breakdown, he said: “He (Ure) went over with Scotland’s U21s and ruptured his hamstring. Very good. Honestly, mini Callum McGregor.
“Very, very robust. Gets after people. Wants the ball. Lovely left foot. He’s a very, very intelligent footballer. Aye, (he plays maturely).

“So, if you change shape, with what Cal (McGregor) does. Cal will fall in. Push KT (Kieran Tierney) out and fall into a back four. He’ll jump in. He’ll know when to go and jump out wide as well. Kyle is the exact same.
“Kyle is at the top of everything. Stats-wise. Aye, so good. Even small details. See if you are doing fast feet in warm-ups and that. Everything is done properly. It’s intense. The first thing a manager and coach see.”
Bonnar is another left-footed midfield player and has played 19 times for Brown's side in the second tier, scoring one goal in the League Cup.
On the 20-year-old, Brown said: “We have got Jude Bonnar as well. Jude has got a lovely left foot. He’s a lot taller than I thought he was. It’s great to have that. It gives them an opportunity.
“They have done really, really well for us. They improve us. They set standards every day.”
