    He's just a very limited player mate, nothing to do with frustration as such.

    Even when we were playing and winning matches it was plain to see that he was a weak link in the side, that just becomes even more noticeable with a poor result.

    He's was not the only limited player on show today... If his shot had went in off the underside of the bar this thread would look a lot different..

    He showed enough at the start of the season not give hope on him...yet..

    People use that excuse for every player that gets criticism though, just to defend them.

    'Ambrose is a scapegoat, unfair'

    'Stokes is a scapegoat, unfair'

    'Mulgrew is a scapegoat, unfair'

    'Matthews is a scapegoat, unfair'

    etc, etc, etc.

    As people have said, his goals earlier in this season only really covered up the cracks to his rather limited game, and are probably the main reason for Ronny still giving him a game.

    I like him.

    Was only saying because a large section of our support don't like him and constantly use him as a scapegoat.

    Seems to be quite a few 'scapegoats' in our squad according to some.

    The same could be said for Guidetti?

    Both are young and deserve more patience...

    I share frustration with McGregor's game...

    but I think in general people forget what the word support as in Celtic supporter means..

    We must be most overly critical fans..

    Nowhere near as bad as some people are saying. There were many players worse than him today. Was unlucky with the shot that hit the bar too.

    One footed, his right foot is for standing on only, and stilted.And he acts like he owns the place with no merit to back it up.

    Punt in January along with Ambrose and Izzy.

    People say he is a limited player,hes getting played out of position never a winger,if lustig played centre forward he would be a limited player.Mcgregor needs to play in central areas imo

    I wouldn't go as far as saying to 'punt' Izzy, however we definitely need someone else to come in and challenge him.

    I think he needs a kick up the erse. He's had it easy for 5 year with no-one breathing down his neck, waiting for one slip.

    Izzy is the best LB we've had in my lifetime, if anything we need someone to give him a break.

    If he was as perfect as people want him to be he would be world class and wouldn't be with us.

    Selective memory my friend.

    Every good move down the left fizzles out with Izzy, every good initiative dies when Izzy slices the ball or over hits his crosses.And weak as maiden's water in defence.A luxury we no longer can afford.
    Yes punt him in January and get a decent left back in for a change in January, and groom some of our youngsters as deputies.

    Had it easy in that he's the focal point of a huge proportion of our attacks and has to defend the left too? The guy is totally overloaded with responsibility
