    I slated him when he first broke into the Celtic first team, but this season he has been outstanding when given the chance. Deserves a run in the team.

    Very big fan of his, offers a good balance between him and Brown and Bitton

    I've been skeptical about him for a really long time; I think it was mainly b/c he doesn't look like a proper athlete--little soft, not very fast or quick, etc. But he just keeps putting in performances. He always gives a crisp pass, floats into open space, sees through balls, and has an accurate shot. We aren't going to build a team around him, but he's a great versatile midfielder and plays with passion, too.

    Played very well today. He's definitely a centre-mid.

    So did I, in his early games although he was scoring he was pish I thought although that was as he was playing on the wing and he had no pace(he was fatter and slower than he is now).

    Since he came back into playing around January/February last season though you could tell he was fitter although he never really got to start any games but you could see he was better, this season he's performed very well.

    Comfortable on the ball, good movement, can pass/shoot/cross well and has good mobility around the pitch.

    He's had loads of unfair criticism, when the blame really should have lay with Ronny for playing him so wide..

    Anyone can see he is a CM..

    A new DM and a team built around McGregor and Rogic..

    Armstrong too.. Looking forward to seeing him in CM role under new management there is a player there too.

    Doesn't have the pace to hit the byline, but that's not his game.

    In the area he plays, and the way he does, he's quick both mentally and physically. When you can pass and move off the ball the way he does it's very hard to stop.

    Like others, I'd like to see him hang around for awhile. Can't see him being a regular starter next season but he can contribute when playing.

    I have a feeling it'll be him or Rogic that is moved on this summer. We have so many central midfielders.

    Christie to swap with Rogic/McGregor on a regular basis as I think he has decent potential too.

    We'd have a fairly decent team there with the right manager.

    On his displays this year I think he should be kept, not least of all because it's clear he gives a * and the team winning delights him. Look at him charging over to celebrate goals with the scorers and you'll know what I mean. If we have better players they should get in ahead of him, but that doesn't mean sell him. I also think he deserves first team football this year, as he's definitely better than some who're walking into the team right at the moment

    He'll be a Scotland international eventually I think.
