    I don't really rate him as much either. I do think if he was foreign though and came from a "big team's" youths, we'd be wetting ourselves. I think it's because we've seen so many promising youngsters only to turn out *.

    Good point. Although with McGregor in particular, I think he's a late bloomer, as it were. He will do well with us and come onto a good game, he knows what it's like doing really well then having a bad patch, his bad patch lasted ages now he's back doing well again. He'll have learned a lot from that, hopefully.
    I rate him and I think he can prove to be a good player for the team. He loves the club aswell which is important and shouldn't be underestimated. :50:

    For me that's not the case.

    Genuinely just don't rate him. I think the whole "If his name was McGregorinho you'd love him" argument as well is a bit of a cop out that folk use to defend homegrown or British players.

    Doesn't make a difference to me if he is North Korean or from Coatbridge to be honest:smiley-laughing002:

    Thought he looked better against Fenerbahce. Rather he started than Armstrong

    Been fairly impressed with him anytime he's played this season, and I didn't rate him at all last season.

    Hope he keeps his place for now.

    The exact same. Thought he was pish, in fact he was pish but he's been a pleasant surprise at home to Ajax and away at Caley. Thought he was decent enough last night out wide as well but deserves the central spot. .

    He's limited, but he works very hard, appears to have a great attitude and is a goal threat. I'm not sure he's an intelligent enough footballer to ever be a regular starter for us, but he can certainly do a job for Celtic.

    I think his intelligence on the ball is what bumps him up a bit? Certainly from central midfield.

    Think so? I wouldn't say he's a particularly good player, technically, and I've not seen much evidence of clever decision-making. Maybe I've not seen enough of his games.

    I see him as an industrious player who can come in and do a job. A bit like Jamie Smith (remember him?) was years ago.

    Jamie Smith is a good example but I think he's the same, they're clever wee players. Good with the game infront of them, have just enoughba ility to be a bit of a pest.

    Loses the ball too easily in our own half, but decent going forward

    O'Halloran nearly scored from 1 1st half but he was decent today..

    Still worth the place with Broony and now Bitton out..

    I like his style from central midfield.
