    Only guy within the club be it player or staff member who comes away from that with any sort of credit.

    Showed a bit of balls when those around him, some of whom have been signed for 8 figures or played 500+ games for the club shat it and completely bottled it.

    Aye. The levels he is above Ralston is scary.

    Time to build for the future and get him games now.

    If he really is levels above Ralston then it's scary exciting. He can hold his head up

    One of the few, maybe alongside Murray, who can hold his head up high after that fiasco.

    He should be starting ahead of Ralston from now on.

    Aye that’s fair too. That’s where the list well and truly ends though.

    Both should be in the team Sunday but won’t.

    This is where it’s completely on Rodgers. Both deserve to play 100%. CCV was a * embarrassment tonight, he made scales actually look okay. Murray and scales at the weekend for me. And Donovan alongside them. KT can get to * too tbf. Get Inamura back in

    Nearly set up a goal with his first involvement in the game. Never looked out of place, fair play to him.
    Would have fancied him to score a pen too

    He is a player with potential. Definitely looks more adept at going forward than Ralston. Unsure on how he would cope up against stronger teams than us, as Ralston is decent as a backs to the wall defender.
    I'd hope he gets game time with AJ injured.

    He kinda looks like one of these SPL players who get hyped up and more to Italy. I mean that in a good way, hes raw but seems like he has potential. Id give him a run in the team now.

    Give him a run, looks more mobile than Ralston who we know is painfully average despite being an honest pro.

    You've got top teams all over Europe and England playing 15, 16 and 17 year olds. It makes me sick that we still don't give these young guys a go.

    The lad cannot being any worse than Ralston. He looks to have no fear going forward. Did more going forward than Ralston when he came on. Also, looks to have more legs than Ralston

    Did great, tried hard...so now will play less than 5 games this season, then loans to Ayr and Dunfermline before being released

    He had one moment that nearly resulted in Nygren scoring where I thought, that boy isn’t just trying, he has quality.

    He paused, waited, controlled the ball, and picked the pass in a packed box to Nygren and he didn’t need to look up to see who was there for the pass,

    He impressed me already showing for the ball, challenging, trying to be positive while nothing outstanding I was still very impressed with the mentality shown there alone, and he was doing all that well.

    That point, he was committed to chasing down a ball we all thought was gone, had the quality to win time, and awareness for the correct pass and he done that pass without * it.

    That time of a massive game when experienced guys weren’t doing it, the composure, awareness, desire… and not to rush it. That for me, that’s a sign of quality.

    I * love Ralston more than most it’s well documented on here, but if he’s still struggling at all, any doubt. Donovan at Ibrox. I’m fine with that
