    Don't think he stepped into that McGregor role at all well today.

    Not a holding player at all. We need to buy one.

    Really poor, but he wasn't alone.

    Thought he did ok.

    But it's all relative, as there was so much * out there

    Wasn't terrible but same as Cal we need our entire midfield on it to be effective.

    Thought him and McCowan were on a totally different wavelength the entire game and it showed. He’s got some nice attributes but the rawness of his game still filters through a lot of the time.

    He was unreal in Munich and been our player of the season bar Maeda and Kuhn.

    Thought he was poor today though. Didn’t show for the ball enough. He should’ve been demanding the ball from deep and playmaking from there. Didn’t show enough personality in the game.

    Seen more than enough now, that was his opportunity today to show up the Belgium manager for being a clown as well as showing us exactly why we made him the highest transfer buy in our history, did none of that

    Got far, far, far too much to work on, lacks so much in so many departments and I've not got the patience to see him put in performances such as that against the huns in order to develop further, we should be seeing far more bang for our buck

    According to Juco James from the Huddle Breakdown podcast, his data shows that he's performing at a similar level to McCowan domestically, which is absolutely * galling considering Engels cost 11x the price of McCowan and has had far more minutes

    If he can't perform well at Celtic Park against a hun side 16 points behind us in the league before kick off, if he can't show for the ball enough under those circumstances by instead preferring to hide far too often from taking ownership of the ball, then he'll never make it here, got absolutely zero * confidence in him popping up with a goal unless it's a penalty

    You don’t think he was good in Munich? You’ll need to watch that one back mate.

    You also need to remember he’s 20 years of age and still developing as a player.

    Sick of hearing this pathetic excuse.

    If he's old enough to be selected for the first team, then he's old enough for the criticism due.

    He was poor today.

    But have you been watching with your eyes closed? He's had many good games.

    He's had more * games than good ones.

    This was his chance today with McGregor out to take charge of the midfield - and what did he do? Nothing.

    No wonder * RASKAAAAN is getting ahead of him for Belgium...

    Not suited to Scottish football.

    Good player but heart of a mouse
