Josh Clarke is utilising the advice of several senior pros at Celtic while on loan at Scott Brown's Ayr United.
The 20-year-old initially joined the Somerset Park side for a temporary spell last season.
He then returned to Ayr in March of this year to help Brown with a promotion push.
Clarke has made six appearances for the Honest Men this campaign, keeping one clean sheet along the way.

He goes between Lennoxtown and Ayr for training as he lifted the lid on the key figures who are helping him back at Celtic: "I have done some training back at Lennoxtown and been a little bit back and forth," he said.
"I'll always try to make myself available to train and do my best.
"It's something I've done for a little while now - going between both clubs.
"Scott Bain, Kasper, Vil and the goalie coach, Stevie Woods, have been great with me.
"The way the guys approach the game and the mentality the guys have to keep winning, winning, winning is something I see in training every day. It becomes instilled in you and I try to bring the best I can.
"You see them operate - playing Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday every week - and their ability to keep going is quite remarkable. I learn from the players. Kasper, as the number one, is brilliant to learn from.
"If you saw what Kasper does to get himself on the pitch... he does a lot of work behind the scenes. It's saunas, ice baths and he does everything he can to prepare himself for games.
"It's very unfair if there is any criticism of him because he always prepares himself. There are a good few of them at the club and you try to make the most of the facilities there."
With Schmeichel currently on the sidelines, Viljami Sinisalo has deputised between the sticks for Celtic of late.
The Finn also had a previous spell at Somerset: "It's unfortunate for Kasper," said Clarke.
"I'm not quite sure of the extent of how bad it is. It will be a miss for the team but I'm sure Vil will do well. I'm sure he had been looking forward to his league debut for a long time.
"I'm pleased for him and he got a clean sheet as well. Vil has mentioned his time here at Ayr and speaks well of the club.
"It's nice to go back and speak to him and Luke McCowan - two guys who have been here and are now playing at Celtic. It gives me motivation to do as well as I can."
Clarke is contracted at Celtic until the summer of 2027. He joined the Scottish Premiership champions from Glenavon in Northern Ireland in 2022.
