Spector made his Premiership debut against Rovers in August, but he has since slipped out of the first team picture with the arrival of Gabriel Heinze.

'Hopefully it will provide Jonathan with the chance to play first team football and he will benefit from that more than he would playing for our reserves,' Ferguson told MUTV.
