Shell one liner to pad filenames starting with single digit year with a zero

Pad filenames starting with a single digit year (e.g. 1, 2, etc) with a zero while leaving filesnames starting with two digit years (e.g. 11, 12) untouched.

$ ls -1
10th.Circuit
11th.Circuit
1st.Circuit
2nd.Circuit
3rd.Circuit
4th.Circuit
5th.Circuit
6th.Circuit
7th.Circuit
8th.Circuit
9th.Circuit
DC.Circuit
 
 
$ for old in $(ls -1 | grep "^[0-9]\{1\}[a-z]"); do rename -n 's//0/' $old; done
1st.Circuit renamed as 01st.Circuit
2nd.Circuit renamed as 02nd.Circuit
3rd.Circuit renamed as 03rd.Circuit
4th.Circuit renamed as 04th.Circuit
5th.Circuit renamed as 05th.Circuit
6th.Circuit renamed as 06th.Circuit
7th.Circuit renamed as 07th.Circuit
8th.Circuit renamed as 08th.Circuit
9th.Circuit renamed as 09th.Circuit
