    Think we're all in agreement on that. He has to get a consistent run at it to prove it though. Hope he does.

    Left wing is his in my opinion to lose this year..

    Also think Huns game apart, he was excellent when called upon up top..

    I wouldn't be totally against playing him up with Edouard for a game or two when we change tactics. Think both would link up well and cause havoc..

    Still annoys me Rodgers had the opportunity to see what they could do in the hun game when we had nothing to lose

    Body feints are superb, fake passes, reverse balls, touch and goes, players don’t have a scooby what he’s going to do and neither the * do I, so unpredictable and refreshing to watch.

    We're so much more dangerous going forward when he's playing..

    On the ball running at and almost always skinning his man. Off the ball running in behind. His link up play..

    Had a great game, he's so direct and aggressive, exactly what we've been missing on left wing.

    I really like him. He has excellent close control, a good wee burst over 5 yards or so and loves to pass and move. Some of his play in that second half was superb, particularly the link-up play with McGregor.

    Big fear of mine is he reminds me of McGeady. Frustrating head-down trickster player. Very early stages of course and I wish the kid all the best.

    Going to be quality this season, confident and more well developed although probably another level or two to go up physically hes already strong and quick enough to beat guys, get away from them and hold them off. Will be destroying SPL defences for fun.

    He's very intelligent and plays with his head up more and more im seeing..

    Sees space and he attacks it on the ball or runs off the ball..

    Plays quick and incisive passes forward and always straight on the move for a one two or going beyond. Done it coming in with Edouard second half and had some delightful bit of linking up with McGregor by the main stand second half..

    Big fear is he reminds me of someone that went from Academy graduate to MOTM performances against some of the biggest teams in Europe to then move Spartak for a record smashing £9.5 million :56::56:

    The equivalent of him moving for 3 times that, easily, just now.
