    He was in great form last season before his injury so hopefully he can get back on the field soon with all the games we have coming up. Hopefully he can stay injury free as he I think can become a massive player for us on the same level as Forrest but so far injuries just keep halting his progress right when it seems he is about to breakout.

    If he gets any sort of run he will beat Tierney's fee at the most expensive developed export down the line .. bags of potential

    I think there is no question he has the talent to become a class player. In terms of a fee bigger than Tierney it may well come down to the physical side of things and how he develops there. Injuries aside Tierney became a far fitter and stronger player, he gained a yard of pace and had a cracking attitude (not suggestion Johnston doesn’t).

    Here’s hoping your right as we could do with a spark at the moment, when thing Mikey will definitely give you is the ability to beat a man and pace too.

    Great player. Quick, silky, direct.

    He was a standout at the start of the last season when we were firing on all cylinders.

    Hopefully stays fit when he is back.

    I hope you're right. Just see him a bit like McGeady at the moment though who wasn't direct enough and opted for tricks instead of final ball. Hope he flourishes though!

    Excellent, we may see him by February if football is still allowed to be played by then.

    Totally, all jokes aside, he's a great wee player and an on form run of games the lad can easily make the left wing role his own and be a great player for us.

    Getting him back will be massive in the push.


    Need everyone back and available

    See more of very early Ronaldo than mcgeady. I'm not saying he's gonna be Ronaldo but I think he's a lot more potential to be stronger and more direct than mcgeady and he has the potential to be a much much better striker of the ball

    Just get a feeling his career will be stop start with injuries, unless he bulks up a bit.

    We do need him as we are lacking guy who can beat men, currently only Frimpong really offers us the chance to beat 2 and 3 men and open things up.

    No just beat men but have a bit of pace..

    We lack so much pace it's frightening..
