    I’d argue that’s McGregor, but I agree with the sentiment.

    His movement was outstanding; so much so, I would have no hesitation in playing him as an out-and-out striker from now on.

    I'd actually have said it was Christie, it's tight between him and McGregor both have nice touches and ball control and both are pretty good passers, McGregor probably slightly ahead on the touch and control but i'd have said Christie was a little ahead of McGregor with crossing and shooting, maybe even passing and penalties, freekicks even corners.

    The top 3 are definitely McGregor, Christie and Johnston though.

    2nd goal was a proper strikers finish as well, getting in the 6 yard box and scoring, been missing that for the last few months.

    We have Scottish player's that are very unlike modern Scottish player's..

    Very cultured in their style and comfortable and composed..

    You forgot Forrest by the way. 1 of the best first touches about..

    Mikey is streets ahead of pretty much any young kid in Scotland though, that won't be argued much by many if any. A reason why Chelsea were sniffing about and why at youth level he was levels above anyone we faced in the next gen..
