    Aitchison and Mikey Johnstone have been training with the first team more regularly the last few weeks.

    Hope we start to see them be involved in the match day squads now

    That boy Hill has been training with the team as well.

    Can see Brendan is serious about developing the talent.

    I thunk eventually he will look to have a 23 man squad with quality you can depend on across the park, which is supplemented by the youths.

    Came on and turned the game around. Made more space and that assist. Great performance overall and I have had faith in the Wee man all along. Thinking he was our star player at the start of RD tenure and has been good when called on.

    He's a very unscottish like midfielder, always neat and tidy and composed with the ball.

    He should be getting in Scotland squads regularly.

    I said about a year ago that McGregor was nowhere near Celtic standard and probably never would be. Unlike some on here im happy to admit when Ive been proved wrong. I remember when people where rightly slagging Samaras off for being very poor, but the next season he went on a brilliant run of form, destroyed the huns at Ibrox and was our top scorer in Europe. A lot of the same Celtic fans that called him "*" over and over again just couldn't bring themselves to give him the credit he was due when he was turning in match winning performances. Once some people get into their head that a player is "*" its almost impossible for them to change their mind no matter how well the player is playing.

    Was good. Always quite liked him. There was one bit today where he should have played the ball to Roberts and he would have been away. Lovely set up for dembele

    Great to see Callum's cameo today, and the assist was sublime.

    My respect for CM is posted earlier, and I just hope he can add consistency to his game firstly domestically. And from there onto the European stage.

    So far he has been superb when needed, and his constant availability hints at a young guy who takes his role as an athlete/footballer seriously.

    Keep up the good work CM

    Overshadowed by Lustig's insane cross, but great assist on the Dembele goal. Great player to have off the bench. Can't see him forcing out Rogic, Armstrong, Brown ect, but past the 60 minute mark he always seems to make an impact as a sub.

    I think he's our first choice midfielder off the bench, he's got amazing skills on him as he proved with the assist for our 5th, can score some excellent goals like the one against Hearts last week, his general distribution is very good for a squad player.

    Definitely has more effective performances than not.

    He's particularly good when we're up against a packed defence. He's calm, he's always on the move, and he's technically good enough to play quick one-twos around the area. Plus, he's a goal threat.

    I really like him. He's never going to be our mainstay midfield general etc but he's brilliant for off the bench and even good enough to start when others are injured.

    I've said that for a while, he'll have a good Scottish career because their really isn't another Scottish central midfielder that's like him.

    Don't think it'll be under WGS, not his type of player at all.

    Can't say I've ever been a massive fan but he's gradually winning me over, with a fully fit squad I still can't see him starting for us but he's a good option to have on the bench as backup.
