Teenage Celtic goalkeeper Aidan Rice was pleased with his performance in Inverness Caledonian Thistle's 1-1 draw with Alloa on Saturday.
The 18-year-old joined the Highlanders on an emergency one-game loan last week, with Inverness number one Musa Dibaga away on international duty with Gambia.
Rice came in and started against Alloa at the weekend and impressed, making some key saves as his loan side picked up a point.

Speaking post-match, Rice was satisfied with his efforts. He said [Press and Journal]: "It was a quick turnaround, but it was good to get the opportunity to play men’s football in front of the fans, and it was up to me to take it.
"It was a good atmosphere, so I enjoyed it.
"I was pleased with my performance. It was a case of turning up on the day and making the saves – that’s what you need to do.
"I thought the boys deserved to get the win, we played well, but it was up to us to go and take our chances."
Rice has previously trained with Celtic's first team and has been a regular for their B side between the sticks this season.
He was impressed with the quality of Inverness' squad, though: "As soon as I came in, I could see it was a really good young group here," he said.
"I came up on Wednesday and I was staying with Remi Savage. I trained on Thursday and Friday and then into the game at the weekend."
Scott Kellacher was equally taken aback by Rice's performance. The Inverness boss said: "Aidan was brilliant for us, and I was delighted for him.
"This was his first game at this level."
