    *Informed keyboard gangster.

    I never once said he wasn't at a Huns game (which he wasn't) I outed you as a * talking idiot which you've had zero comeback to.

    He's stayed in Bishopbriggs for years so if you know a Calum McGregor from Easterhouse it's not the one that plays for Celtic so you can stop trying to slander one of our own players for reasons only known to yourself.

    Wouldn't slag the guy and BR seems to like him. He just doesn't do enough for me. Very neat and tidy, weighs in with goals occasionally but never dominates a game and very few MoM performances. Don't know his best position

    This.

    I don't hate/love the guy but he just doesn't seem to have a big impact on the majority of games. I can't see him ever becoming a consistent performer for us in Europe at the CL level.

    Personally I thought he did well against ICT outside of his finishing. He was all over the final third, making things happen. Just couldn't find the finishing touch on a number of shots.

    Has he not scored 4/5 European goals for us?

    wasn't sure of his age but 23 is still young! the reason i said to go on loan is because our youngsters need to play against better players than the scottish development league provides, they need to play against better and physically stronger oppostion or their development stalls and they stagnate as footballers.

    I can't see him holding down a first team place unless he starts to really work on the weakness of his character and his football, i think he hides in games at times it looks like hes lazy, he is hopeless at defending he could be doing with being physically stronger and improve on his defending.

    but he is technically very good, very attack minded, quick feet, good finisher, i think he could be a star if not for us for some other team but he has to work harder to improve his overall game or it aint gonna happen

    Reykjavik, Legia and Maribor one after the other, and then Ajax last season at least. I might've missed another.

    4 goals from probably, what? 15 games? Not bad.

    Also, we don't need every player to 'dominate games'. They can't all be stars.

    MC Gregor is the least of our worries in rejigging the team. He is excellent when he brings his top game. He looks for the pass, gets into position for passes and is direct going forward. So many times on Sunday he was finding empty space in midfield. This is something all our players need to do more of.

    Thought he made a difference when he came on last night.

    Was looking for the ball all the time and was playing penetrating passes when he got it. A marked improvement on Nir.

    Dreadful. His passing was pish, he backed out of 50/50's and left holes in midfield, he slowed our play down..

    Really * me off tonight. Should be nowhere near the side with a showing like that..

    Good wee back heel to set up the shot for Roberts for Sinclair's goal. He was sitting back rather than being the one to drive forward. Didn't do much

    Capable of the odd nice pass and long shot but he ain't the answer in midfield

    Average as *. Scores the odd nice goal but he's so lightweight in midfield. I was raging when he pulled out of a 50/50 last night, seemingly Rodgers was as well.

    His missed chance defined why we need quality in the midfield signed in January. One shot and we are in a great spot for the Europa League, but he shanks it. Rotational player.

    Just a bang average player who should be playing for Aberdeen, not Celtic. Particularly not Celtic in the Champions League.
