    Same. He has a bit of dig, but can be wasteful. Is decent getting involved with the attacking play and scores goals but goes out of position..

    I'm happy with him at the moment, definitely..

    Looks a lot better playing in the centre of the park

    He's done better than GMS has all season.

    Think what he is, is a useful player to have around the squad.

    And we scored two goals from his corners today. When do we ever score from corners?

    How many of those are actuall centre mids? Armstrong possibly..

    McGregor has performed better than all in that role and is good enough back up for those 2 just now..

    Not a fan as I've stated but he's doing ok.

    I don't see him as a long term centre mid though, certainly not in a 2 man midfield. Too small and is more suited to being further up the park.

    Did the same against Ajax too. If he cuts that out, I think he can be a player for us. Still young too, plenty of time to improve

    Exactly mate, just said as much. Seems the type to be happy enough with that as well....which is half the battle..

    Didn't notice he was the 2 assists :50:

    There's not much more I hate than that phrase.

    He's a nailed on central midfielder for me.

    Still don't see it with him. Gives the ball away too often in dangerous areas.

    He's average but should be nowhere near the team.

    re-read my post . I am talking about Mcgregor challenging for the 3 attacking mid roles, not the two central midfield roles. I agree when Brown and Biton come back Mcgregor should be 3rd choice , although i still think Ronny would start his prodigal son Johansen in there first.

    As part of a central 2 who's job requires alot of getting back and defending then yes, I think he is too small and weak for that job.

    In a 4-3-1-2 as part of the 3 where there is less pressure on him to cover the back 4, aye.

    I think he's a lot more mobile than 'bigger' players, he's not afraid to do the dirty work. He's proving himself a useful wee player.

    Thought he stepped up when we went down to 10 men today when he went into the middle ! Always wants the ball and drove us forward at times ! One of the few positives from today's game !
