    He looks like he's trying to be too flashy.

    I think a loan move would've been best.

    Certainly has confidence to keep going, but needs to get a little more consistent too many simple mistakes for me, and his shooting is ghastly from what I've seen of him, and I ain't just talking last night.

    It may come but can't see it being until he's learned his trade a bit.

    Seriously to *. One season were he's been off form and not taking into consideration he still ended top scorer whilst being totally pish (?) he's finished.

    Looked dangerous last night, like someone who could make things happen. I think he's been getting blooded well. He's started games this season and been subbed on a few times as well. This is his breakthrough season. If this continues he'll get more confident and wiser and start delivering. Just let him develop at the rate he'a going i think.

    I've been really impressed with him whenever I've seen him.

    He just seems so positive. Willing to have a run at players and be direct. Looks like a real exciting prospect.

    We could save ourselves a fortune here. Hopefully the next Tierney, McGregor, Forrest etc.

    Clearly a talent, with enough talent to make it here, but I'm not quite convinced he has the consistency and potency yet to be a starter.

    Loan spell would do him untold wonders, doesn't look too likely given our dour wide options, hopefully he can really push on from the game time here and there he gets and with being in the first team environment.

    I’d loan him out for 6 months with Morgan back fit.

    Rodgers obviously has a plan for him and Morgan, hopefully see plenty of them over the season. First thing he done when he came on was take on the full back and take more risks which is what we need in the final 3rd, not safe passes and playing keep ball.

    He's 19.

    You've just answered all of your own issues with him in that last sentence.

    I don't mean at Celtic though.

    He should do an Ajer (who should have won YPOTY BTW last year) and get out on loan.

    Like him but he needs more composure when passing or shooting its way off at the moment hopefully that will come with game time

    I'd keep him we're short in wingers at the moment and I feel he'd learn more playing a handful of games here than he would a full season at a team like Kilmarnock.

    I'd keep him and play him, give him a lot more games and develop him. He's got ability now he needs the experience and game time to get better.

    Big chance for him today getting an actual start and he was virtually annonymus, he needs to show up in games like this if he wants to challenge forrest for a starting spot.

    He's the same as Christie, no good enough.

    Too ball greedy at present, which is understandable. He’s gone from being the strongest player in the youth team so is probably used to having his way with defenders but in the step up he needs to do better. Too often he beats the man then tries to beat them again - like Aiden McGeady used to. Definite potential but was * today

    The game passed him by today. Ineffective.

    At least give him a shot on the left or even central where it's better for him as he likes to drive both ways on his right foot..

    When we're playing with confidence and playing football again, he'll flourish..

    Already being dubbed no good enough. Lol..

    I feel sorry for him. We're looking at players like him and Morgan to essentially rescue our under-performing attack. Too much pressure on their shoulders already. Mikey in particular.

    Think he looked okay in flashes today, but other than Mulumbu nobody really stood out. So to criticise a kid, who actually tried to make something happen, is a bit much.

    At least he has a go, unlike Sinclair who just hid...again.

    Tried his best but never came off for him most of the time.

    Needs a cuddle, not an ear beating.
