    Anybody in here who’s saying his passing isn’t woeful hasn’t watched him yet.

    There’s a difference between him being * at passing a ball and his passing thus far being inconsistent.

    He gave the ball away 7 times in the first half against Motherwell, utter * granted. For balance he made 9 recoveries of the ball (most on the park), made 23 complete passes (most on the park) and made 3 successful dribbles (most on the park).

    All that points to is someone that needs time to settle in properly, because he can clearly pass a ball.

    I don’t know if I’m just seeing something different from him that others aren’t but I like him. Think he has massive potential with a few tweaks. He is a naturally aggressive footballer defensively and offensively just needs it coached and channelled properly.

    It’s got to be said there have been points in every game I’ve watched him in I’ve actually wondered how tf he can run as much as he does. Bombing it up and down the wing even after 85 minutes

    From what I've seen he's hardly the worst player we've seen ...definitely a bit room for improvement but not everyone settles into new environments quickly.

    I'm a little worried about him at Ibrox but give the boy time, I'm optimistic.

    If anyone needs a confidence boosting goal then it’s this guy. Let’s get behind him tonight

    He needs a big performance to settle him, you can already hear us getting on top of him, so he needs to show that character..

    If he plays tonight he needs to go out and make 3 or 4 simple passes square or back just to settle the game. His issue is he keeps trying to force a forward pass rather that play a simple ball into McGregor so he can dictate the play.

    You need to pick your moments with forward passes.
