    He will shine under new management in his natural position

    which is ?
    If you're thinking the no.10 role. I don't think he's any better than commons, Allan, johansen, rogic or even Christie in there tbh.

    Not good enough and as important does not have the bottle to play for Celtic. Did he actually find a Celtic player with a pass last night?? Shocking waste of money.

    kind of starting to feel sorry for him, he is being played as a winger when clearly he is not, he is taking every free kick and corner, and he cant beat the first man, and then he is being subbed for being * at the instructions given too him.

    Don't get the idea of feeling sorry for any footballer who's getting paid a disgusting amount of money to do something they love.

    I'd give him another season under the new manager.

    He'd be much better in the no.10 role, but with players here who are better than him in that position ther isn't really any point in him being here. I can see what deila was trying to do with trying to make him into a winger that cuts in but with most things Deila trys to do it just hasn't worked.

    I like him but this chain of thought that he'll turn into Zidane behind Griffiths is a nonsense.

    He just hasn't been good enough, position regardless.

    Yeah, being in a different area of the pitch will hardly change his shocking first touch and ball-control.

    I am disappointed in him as I expected more. He is a decent all round player not great at anything but not bad either. I think he might lack the mentality to play for Celtic but at the same time the Deila stink could be ruining him. Probably needs another chance under the new manager. One thing I know for certain though is that he is not creative enough to play in the bank of three.

    He has a lot of things going for him but they're mostly physical attributed which fit the pressing style of play we're aiming for.

    He doesn't have the technical ability of an Allan, Johansen, Commons, GMS or even Christie from what I've seen at ICT.

    His shooting in particular is very poor and when you add that to the fact his decision making has also been poor what you get is a guy shooting wildly any time he's in and around the box.

    Surely needs a chance whilst we are playing 4-3-3...

    I'd like to see this..

    Gordon
    Lustig Sviatchenko Mulgrew Tierney
    Armstrong Rogic McGregor
    Roberts Griffiths GMS ​


    Or Johansen in for McGregor who was poor today..
