    Fav Celtic Player:
    was petrov but now McManus
    the thing with guys like McGinn is that one awful performance and a fatal result could always be just round the corner. I just don't think he's good enough for Celtic. But , that'll show and he will move on, sooner rather than later.

    good raw talent IMO. Fast, direct, good shot, reasonable team player. Good enough as backup on the bench but needs to develop before he would be good enough to challenge Forrest and Maloney who both have more to their game. He is kind of like McCourt - two-thirds of a very good player but missing crucial aspects to his game.

    more like a poor mans Forrest IMO. The best aspect of both players is pace, directness and shooting but Forrest is just on a higher level when he is completely match sharp. Niall is fine as backup. We cant expect the backup to be as good as the 1st pick on our budget.

    His shooting is his achilles heel, it is absolutely dreadful. No power or precision.
