Falkirk midfielder Scott Arfield won praise from Bairns boss John Hughes after scoring twice in the 4-1 weekend win over Hamilton Academical.
The 19-year-old Scotland Under-21 international is already attracting interest from bigger clubs and Hughes believes that Arfield has the mentality needed to go a long way in the game.
He said: "I see Scott progressing. We've said to him he needs to add goals to his game this season and he got two, albeit one from the penalty spot, although he was brave enough to take it.
"I can only say he's got a great chance in the game, because he listens and he does everything with a smile on his face.
"He wants to get better and he is a very humble boy and that's what you want to work with. He doesn't get carried away, he just wants to be the best he can possibly be.
"He's still got so much to learn but he wants to learn every day. He's only 19, but the most important thing with him is he keeps his feet on the ground."
