Celtic youngster Kyle Ure is set for a loan switch to Ayr United despite rival interest from Partick Thistle.
Both clubs are managed by former Parkhead stars, [[Ayr]] by Scott Brown and Thistle by Mark Wilson, and both were keen to taking the midfielder on for the season.
But the Daily Record is now reporting the decision has been taken to send the 19-year-old to Somerset Park.
Celtic are in talks with the Honest Men about entering into a co-operation agreement after plans to team up with Queen's Park were binned. And pathways manager Shaun Maloney is said to have been impressed by the setup.

That is why Celtic B team captain Ure will make the move, joining teammate Jude Bonnar who has already made the same move.
Ure won the Celtic academy player of the year award and has been involved with the first team in pre-season, appearing against Queen's Park, Cork City, Estrela da Amadora and Sporting CP.
He is highly-rated and Ayr is seen as the next stage of his development.
After missing out on the midfielder, Partick Thistle still hope to land goalkeeper Josh Clarke on loan from the Scottish champions.
