Dunfermline Athletic have snapped up Celtic's teenage striker Jim O'Brien on loan until the end of the season.
The 19-year-old has yet to make his senior debut for the Bhoys, but reserve team coach Kenny McDowall believes O'Brien will be a hit at East End Park.
He told the club's official website: "This is a great opportunity for Jim and it will give him the chance to get first-team experience this season.
"It is an indicator of how well he has done that there have been a few clubs inquiring about his availability on a loan basis.
"He is well equipped for first-team football and I am expecting him to handle it well."
