Read more: He has impressed in his brief stint at Sirius so far, contributing to five goals in his nine appearances. Ure finished clinically into the bottom-left corner to draw his side level away at Hammarby last night in a match they eventually lost by three goals to two. Sirius kvitterar!

It remains to be seen whether Ancelotti Jr will remain as part of the setup after those games, however, as he has 'interest from a number of clubs'.
