    Thought he was ok personally.

    Lovely reverse through ball to Moussa and he also was really unlucky from Moussa's pullback.

    Wasn't as bad as people made out created a few chances and had a few chances. Was poor to give the ball straight to Draper for the 'incident'. People always jump on his back after a poor team performance

    People should get a grip about him, nobody claims that he's Iniesta, but he's not some pub league player either. He's good enough for such games in the SPFL, good enough squad player for Celtic. Their GK was outstanding today, McGregor had a couple of good shots. He should be more aware when it comes to passes to the back, he almost gifted them a goal.

    Lets put it simply .. if McGregor was playing for any other team would we be saying we should go out and buy him ?

    NO

    i rest my case, the lad is not Celtic quality

    He's not a defensive mid at all so that leaves Brown with all the work to do, but on the ball the wee man is great, always gets us going forward and was unlucky not to score today but there was a few times he should of passed instead of shooting. Folk being harsh on him.

    Thought he had a good game personally, that ball to Dembele was class.

    I'd have punt on him but £3m might be a bit steep..

    I've only got one problem with him and its that he won't pass the ball when he gets anywhere near the goal,he's a bit greedy in them situations apart from that he ok.

    People must have been watching something else i thought he was very good in keeping the ball moving , finding space and linking the play all round . His reverse pass to Moussa was a moment of real quality and he hit the bar aswell.

    Think the fact he's fighting for a place in the team affected that today where he's trying too hard to score himself and make a mark to stay in the team.

    He had a very good game today he's he wasted two chances but others do that all the time, he was all over the pitch today passing and movement was very good and he only done one really bad pass and got the ball back after it.

    Done well today.

    You forgot him losing the ball, without any real pressure, leading to a Inverness player beeing through on goal.

    Decentish squad player.

    His drive was and usually is good but his goal sighted blinkers at times today was not so good.
    around 80 odd minutes or so, Forest was free for a tap in if he had of passed instead of blasting rugby style over the bar.

    Still regardless of forwards wasting chances, it was de vries and defence to blame for dropping points to a poor side.

    Yes but our midfield is bypassed so easily and offer very little protection to the defence. Bar Brown it's far too lightweight. Not singling out McGregor alone for this:50:

    Edit : saw someone else make a point about him that hit the nail on the head, without the ball he's useless

    Yeah your probably right but it's still frustrating to watch a lot of wasted chances and he's not the only one.I may have been over critical of him.:50:
