    I think he should wait and should start against Dundee United instead of McGeady as in past few games McGeady has been marked out of the games by Kovancich

    If he is ready to give 101% to prove himself, he's welcome at Ibrox.

    It's maybe a bit of a gamble putting in a player with no OF games experience. Koki struggled earlier in the season for the same reason.

    strachan will probably ban him for two weeks for trying to tell him who to pick for the game :56:

    If we're looking stale and needing something different he is perfect for it.

    I think it'll depend how the game is going but he could very well get a run out, if we're winning and under the cosh he has the ability to take the ball for a run and release the pressure and if we need a goal he has something different from the long ball tactics.

    hopefully he can play some part, but it all depends on how the game is going. would like to see him get last 30 minutes but strachan hardly ever makes a sub then.
    Give the guy some time to get into the game and make an impact

    I think his performances for the reserves has entitled him to a place on the bench, seen as all the coaches are raving about he can change the game with one good move then he's a good asset to be able to bring on in a tight game when the huns are tiring.

    If we are 1-0 up and absorbing play then why not, from the reserve games he has an incredible ability to go past players with no effort.

    I'd give him 30mins if we're on top of things, he looks sharp in the reserves & has been running rings round teams in that league.

    If we're holding on to a win to be honest I wouldn't be taking him on to hold up the ball, he's a bit inexperienced. I don't see a place for him tomorrow barring ingame injury. Samaras and Maloney are the 2 subs I would be using, leaving one spare for defence/midfield/injury...

    If the guy is confident that he can go out and do a shift and be undistracted by the mayhem throw him in from the start.its one thing the huns wont be expecting anyway,catch them with element of suprise.plus he deserves his chance after his performances in the reserves.

    He could be worth the last 30mins if we're needing something different to break them down

    i like McCourt, you can tell he really wants to play for celtic by his performances in the reserves and letting us know he wants to run the huns ragged is great :rolleyes: id put him on the bench and give him 15/20 mins from the end, or longer :50:
