    Solid third choice striker I think. Looked to be a very instinctive finisher, all his best involvements were only one touch, you'd hope he can develop the rest of his game.

    Would love him to go on loan to Hibs or Aberdeen next season and push for top goals scorer / player of the year and come back ready to challenge.

    Can't have enough good Tims in this Celtic team.

    I like him. Tall, physical and direct.

    Delighted for him tonight. He’s fine against the poorer teams in our league and no issues as 3rd striker in the league but not sure he has the skillset to ever really compete for the jersey. Hard not to like the guy though, think a loan to a hibs or Aberdeen would do him well

    Seems like he's got everything needed to be a striker and he just needs minutes, if not with us we should loan him out or sell him as he'd be wasted as third choice if we sign a decent money striker in the summer

    Like the look of him, I do think another loan though, this time to Dundee Utd, decent size club, working under Jim Goodwin, a tim and a fellow Irish man, Dalby will be leaving Dundee Utd which would open up that position for Kenny to be their main man, then after seeing him for a season in the league we compete in, he'll be ready to come in and fight for a regular place (should he hugely impress whilst on loan, which I think he would)

    Great finish.

    I'd be fine with him as 3rd choice but I doubt he's happy with that. Is the issue.

    Took it so well.

    A loan in the league would be perfect, with a recall option and let him play against us.

    I like he was chasing back at times, if he could model his game on Maeda he could do well

    This for me, I thought until he scored last night he looked very raw. He took his goal really well which was good to seen. Happy for him getting a goal but I think going to play for a Aberdeen, DUTD or Aberdeen next season would be best for him.

    He needs first team football, no point in minutes here and there. Needs to be playing week in and week out.

    Think there is a player there, wouldn’t mind him being loaned out once again next season.

    Definitely needs a loan in the league to get regular games.

    I'd give him a new contract and loan him out, he won't be on too big a wage, offer him £6k a week on a 4 year deal or something and loan him to Aberdeen.

    I'd not be surprised if he ran amok in the League for someone else, then he'd come back the following season more confident and trusted to make a mark.

    We shouldn't keep him as he will hardly play and he's been playing first team football since he was 17, so he's used to playing every week.

    I think he has a lot about him, workrate, strength, height, pace, he's a bit of a goal poacher, you could see him developing into a Griffiths/McDonald/Boyd/Stokes type player who will score for fun in the League.

    Great day for Kenny and what a moment as he gets his first Celtic goal on his first Celtic start and he gets to be a part of such a terrific team performance too. A night he will long remember. In terms of whether he has a future at Celtic hard to say. As others have said I would be fine with him as our third choice but the reality is the lad needs game time and he is into the last year of his contract this summer. So if we are going to keep him the move would be a contract extension in the summer and a loan to another spfl team at least until the January window.

    100% should be giving him a good loan. He’s only 21, clearly has talent.

    Good goal and it needs to be a loan next year to get enough minutes and see if he can score goals consistently in the league. I'm not really seeing it though.
