Former Kilmarnock goalkeeper Cammy Bell has praised Findlay Curtis' "huge impact" on the club – but was delighted Neil McCann said the winger isn't guaranteed a game.
Curtis, 19, this week earned a first senior Scotland call-up after impressing since joining Killie on loan from Rangers two months ago.
"I thought he was excellent last weekend [against Hearts]," Bell told the BBC’s Scottish Football Podcast.
"I really did. When I saw him live at the game I thought everything he'd done, his touch, his directness, his movement, his workrate, every single element of his game was excellent.
"Since he's come to Kilmarnock he's had a huge impact on the club. I was surprised when Rangers let him go, to be honest, but I think it's the best thing for him.
"He's moved away, he's got games and he's playing regularly but it's great to hear Neil saying that he's got no guarantees of playing.
"He needs to knuckle down, make sure he's producing that every single week or else he'll be out the team. So there's a demand there.
"I think he's been a real shining light for Kilmarnock."
