Tobi Oluwayemi has expressed that his recent move to Dunfermline Athletic has been shaped by the valuable advice of goalkeeping legends Kasper Schmeichel and Joe Hart.
The 21-year-old, who joined the Pars on loan last week, was part of Celtic's first-team squad during their pre-season tour in the United States earlier this summer.
While this experience initially delayed his transfer to the Scottish Championship club, he believes it will significantly aid his growth as a goalkeeper in the long-term.
Oluwayemi had the brief chance to learn from ex-English Premier League winner Schmeichel during his time at Celtic, and he also benefited from Hart's expertise throughout the former England star's three year stay with the club.
"Especially with Kasper joining in at the start, you get to see a different type of person," he told The Courier.

"Obviously I had Joe Hart before. But you get different characters, different persons and a different way of being at the top, because they have both been at the top. You ask questions as much as you can and learn as much as you can. You’d be a fool not to.
"They were magnificent. Joe Hart worked with my brother [Josh] at Spurs so that helped me a bit, that he knew my name and he knew of me.
"How humble and hard working the guy is was an eye-opener for any young player. If someone who has been there behaves like this then you have to behave like that.
"When Kasper came in, it was the same humility. You start to see a trend with the top players when you speak to them. They all have that sense of humility and hard work ethic about them."
