Celtic duo handed senior chance as young pair spotted in Hoops training with Ange Postecoglou's team

Lanarkshire youngsters Rocco Vata and Ben Summers have been spotted in training with the Celtic first-team.

Both players featured for Hamilton youth club Mill United before joining the Hoops academy.

Vata and Summers have featured heavily in Celtic's Lowland League 'B' team plans this season and they have clearly been noticed at senior level.

Ahead of Ange Postecoglou's side taking on Dundee United in the Scottish Cup next Monday, they have trained alongside their senior peers.

It means the Lanarkshire duo have been able to take some hints and tips from top stars like Jota and Tom Rogic.

Their participation in training has been confirmed after they were spotted in club videos and photographs of the session on Thursday.

Vata like his teammate Summers is an attacking midfielder.

Fellow former Mill United player Jude Bonnar signed for the Parkhead club earlier this year.
