Latvians sent out on loan to Brechin

Celtic's Latvia duo of Anton Kurakins (20) and Krisjanis Vallers (19) have gone out on loan to Brechin City until the end of the season.

Both players have been regulars in this season's development squad but will now benefit from regular first team football at Glebe Park.

Brechin are currently sitting in fourth place in Division Two, ten points behind leaders Alloa but have two games in hand.

Former Celt Jim Duffy is in charge of Brechin and is likely to start with both players in Saturday's home match against Peterhead.

Already out on loan from Celtic is Cillian Sheridan (St Johnstone), Mark Millar (Ujpest Dozsa), Simon Ferry (Swindon), Graham Carey (St. Mirren), Ben Hutchinson (Dundee), Ryan Conroy (Partick Thistle), Danny Lafferty (Ayr Utd).
