    We need a change so yes maybe it is time. But where would you play him?

    I think he should start on Thursday. I don't think he should be a regular starter though. Unless he suddenly shows a level of consistency that he hasn't previously shown at Celtic.

    I'd like to see him in front of a three of Ledley, Kayal & Brown (Ki really but Skoosh has to play) with no defensive responsibilities whatsoever

    Yeh he should start. He showed again today he's a brilliant player and more than warrants a first team place.

    I would make every attempt to start McCourt every week. Natural ability is hard to come by, and he has it in abundance.

    Yes. He could've scored today.

    The problem is that whenever he plays everybody expects a wonder goal but he's not gonna do that every game.

    McCourt should definately start. Ive put up with Commons for the start of this season on the grounds that he had a fantastic season last year.

    Forrest and mccourt should start on the wings with Ki and Ledley in the centre until kayals back

    This. Commons needs to be made aware he is not untouchable.

    you could ask the same question about commons who has been invisible this season but seems to be getting in the team based on last season, so yes i think paddy deserves a chance and with the quality of teams in the spl he should be punishing most of them

    Correct and then everyone who doesn't like him jumps on his back.

    i wouldn't play him from the start on thursday night as thats basically putting it all on him for us to get through to the next round and thats fooking *

    but yeah in general its about time he should be tried out from the start

    I think he would be effective in a role behind two front men, he could thread balls through and also run at the defence. While he can do damage from the wing, i think he would be more dangerous in a more central role. Lennon isn't using him properly.

    I'm not picky.
    I think he should be given a chance at starting. He was one of the better players today and he was only on the field for 25 mins! 8 others were on for 90 and most were *!
