While an impressive run of form over the winter schedule - including nine consecutive wins between December 26 and February 13 - saw Ange Postecoglou's Celtic side take the lead in the Premiership title race, the Bhoys' form has tailed off somewhat in recent fixtures.Indeed, over the Hoops' last four outings in all competitions, the 56-year-old manager's outfit have won one - a narrow 3-2 victory over bottom of the table Dundee FC - drawn one - a lacklustre 0-0 draw with Hibernian - and lost two - 3-1 and 2-0 defeats against Bodo/Glimt in the Europa Conference League.However, not only have the general displays of the team been poor, but a number of Postecoglou's first-team regulars have also suffered a dip in their level of performance in recent weeks - none more so than Tom Rogic, with the attacking midfielder having averaged an extremely disappointing SofaScore match rating of just 6.48 over the four fixtures in question.As such, while David Turnbull remains out through injury, should the Greek-Australian coach wish to afford the 29-year-old a rest from his starting XI, perhaps he should look towards one of the club's most exciting youth prospects in the Australia international's place - in the shape of Ben Summers.

"Talented kid"

Despite being just 17 years of age, expectations of Summers are clearly extremely high amongst those in the know at Lennoxtown, with Celtic B team coach, Tommy McIntyre, stating of the forward-thinking midfielder:

"He's a talented kid, he's been working really hard. We know he's still got a long way to go in terms of having to bulk up a little bit, but he's got great footwork and he knows where the goal is. He's got a good career ahead of himself."

It is not difficult to see why the 58-year-old coach has high hopes of the career of Summers, as the teenager turned in a spectacular display in Celtic B's 3-1 win over the University of Sterling on Sunday.

He cooly slotted home from 12 yards after some excellent work out wide by Ben Doak to draw his side level, before threading a defence-splitting outside of the foot pass through to Adam Brooks who tucked home to give the young Bhoys the lead midway through the second half, both of which can be seen below:

As such, while Summers is undoubtedly one to watch for the future, should Postecoglou indeed wish to give Rogic a break from his starting XI, the 17-year-old undoubtedly appears as if he possesses the ability to do a sterling job in the middle of the park for the Hoops.

And, who knows, should the youngster impress when given a chance by the 56-year-old, perhaps he could even go on to become Celtic's next Rogic in the long-term.
