    Granted the service is often pish. I like Tom Boyd as he has some good stories. Granted he gets a bit tongue tied when he's excited but it adds to the atmosphere when he fluffs his lines because of his excitement.

    I don't mind Tommy Boyd. However Gerry McCullogh can go and take a flying *. Bug eyed * that he is.

    I am with you there. I like it when Tom Boyd is doing the colour commentary.

    Mad the reaction of some after a game. Embarrassing to be honest.

    It's not like people want him to fail but when has he ever in his career had a full solid season?

    It just doesn't bode well that he hasn't gotten off to a good start.Im sure he'll be great for spells but that's about it

    This is his 12th year as an international and he has 43 caps which,sadly,kind of tells the tale of his career

    We would have been better signing James Arthur.

    From about 2007 to 2016, he was a regular in the squads he was a part of.

    Hopefully he comes good but someone on here argued this was the marquee signing to replace our captain of 10+ years.

    Personally think that was a huge risk and instead we should’ve been spending £8m or so on a player in his prime that was playing so well his team would be gutted to lose.

    I would have thought he was always a regular in his clubs squads

    How many 50 or 60 game seasons has he had?

    None, considering he hasn't played for clubs who are regulars in Europe or who always go deep into cups. He's had several seasons where he's had a good amount of games though.

    It’s not really his fitness that concerns me - I’m just genuinely unsure what he’s going to bring to the table for us.

    I guess the idea is he frees up McGregor to play a bit further forward, which could work, but I’m not entirely convinced he has the mobility we need from a midfielder.

    I haven’t seen enough of him to make an assessment. If someone was the ask what he excels in, I genuinely couldn’t tell you. Looks ok at a number of aspects in midfield but doesn’t appear to stand out at any. What should we be expecting from him once he’s fully up to speed?

    Call me whatever you want but if you’re a Celtic fan act like one and wash your mouth out when you’re talking about Tom Boyd in those types of terms like a hun.

    Scurry off now son, the big boys are discussing Celtic.
