    give the young lad some time folks... he's still only a pup. let him take the experience from this year, get a proper full preseason with the coaches and first team and then judge what we've got...

    When he started earlier games he looked like he was in a free roll behind striker and looked good but struggled when put into wider roll

    To be honest he hasn't had enough good games to say that he is suffering a dip in form it may be that he genuinely isn't that good a player

    Did he ever play well? I know he scored a few, but did he ever actually play well?

    Surely he's never getting ahead of Armstrong in attack mid anyway.

    Correct.

    Nothing to do with going through a bad spell, he's just pish.

    Thing is he's not a 'young pup'.

    He'll be 22 in June, that is not young at all.

    He's only 2 years younger than Forrest.

    Maybe should be put back out on loan. 10 minutes here and 10 minute there really aren't doing him any good. Our front four has just got a * of alot stronger with the addition of GMS & Armstrong. McGregor is well down the pecking order now.

    I thought he looked better the other night. Certainly far more positive than the last few months.

    I can already see Armstrong is going to become massively over rated on this forum .

    Sell him for any decent offer or loan him out in the summer.

    In form - great player. Out of form - pish. When will folk in here learn form and ability are not the same thing?

    He'd score goals for us if he played every week in his right position and he was in form. The problem he has now is there's several better options that will do that and much more.

    Decent wee player. I think he will develop under Ronny like others have. He does look like a determined lad.

    Yeah he isnt pure * and is obviously a "good player". But not good enough for Celtic. He has zero ability to press or to do something defensivly and isnt brilliant either offensivly on taking players on or creating space/chances so why play someone who cant contribute enough offensivly to atleast free him from some of his defensive duties, we have better options for the wing and the central attacking position(these two are the positions where he can play). He wont play a game next season under Ronny for us, I will tell you that.

    That might turn out to be the case but he is still a better player and prospect.

    Dropping down the list now, and I'd imagine he'll very rarely feature unless we get a good bit in front in ther league.

    Quite a frustrating player to watch, and not nearly good enough to start, or imo even claim a place on the bench when everyone is fit.

    Not good enough for me either..

    Offload him in the summer. Best for both parties.

    Just don't rate him, has something about him and shows glimpses and scores goals but doubt he'll be here past the summer..

    Honestly rate him about as high as Paul McGowan. Never going to hold down a place for us. Better of letting him go rather than waste his and our time.
