Celtic youngster Mackenzie Carse has joined Queen's Park on loan until the end of the season.
The 19-year-old has been a standout for the Parkhead B team, scoring seven times in 18 Lowland League appearances so far this campaign.
Carse has featured for Scotland at youth level, playing for the national team at U16s, U17s and U19s.
He joins Celtic team-mate Ben McPherson at the Championship side as Callum Davidson's men fight for survival in the division.

Speaking after the deal was confirmed, the Queen's Park head coach said: "In terms of building the squad this January a lot has been said about bringing in experience.
"We have done that with Sean Welsh and are still looking to add a couple of more players who fall into that category, however bringing Mackenzie in ensures that we keep the blend between high potential young players and experience right.
“He is a player that has shown in his displays for Celtic B this season that he is ready to compete for a first team jersey at a high level.
"He will get that opportunity to compete here and if he takes it the next opportunity for him will be to show that he can play at this level every week.”
