Hibs winger Glenn Middleton says he has learned key lessons since arriving at Easter Road.
The youngster joined the Edinburgh side from Rangers on a season-long loan deal in the summer.
Steven Gerrard wanted the 19-year-old to get some regular playing time under his belt and Middleton has been prominent in Paul Heckingbottom's side in recent weeks.
It's early days for the Scotland U21 star, but he says the experience has already been beneficial to him.
He told Hibs TV: "I have learnt a lot over the last couple of weeks that chasing back and winning he ball off your man is sometimes as important as scoring or creating a goal.
"It just adds to the momentum of the team.
"It gets us up the pitch but also stops them getting forward as well."
The Leith outfit suffered a disappointing start to the season, but have steadied the ship with a win over Kilmarnock in the Betfred Cup and earning an unexpected point at the weekend against Celtic .
Middleton insists Hibs deserved all three points against the champions.
He added: "Obviously we are happy with the point, but we definitely feel like we should have won the game.
"We had chances, but at the same time things haven't gone our way.
"Hopefully we'll put that right next week."
