Massive performance from him. He's been a bit of a whipping boy but he never hides and always looks for a pass.

Sublime finish.

For a 23 year old academy product who's still learning his position, he's doing a great job.

Really chuffed for him and pleased to see Brendan single him out for praise on a few occasions recently.

He's a good footballer - the technical fundamentals are all there and he is brave in looking for the ball. Needs to tidy up the defensive side of his game significantly and could be a bit more clinical on occasions, but he's made huge strides over the last two seasons and deserves all the plaudits he's getting. God knows he's had to put up with some stick in the past.

Well in, Callum.

I stuck a tenner on him as an anytime scorer at 5/1 - in a double with Man City qualifying. Cashed out before the City match started as I had a bad feeling, thankfully.

"The former Fulham player collected a long pass from Mikael Lustig before playing in Callum McGregor, who slotted home with a level of composure not usually associated with Scottish players." :lol:

To be fair, once upon a time, long ago and far away such aplomb WAS associated with Scottish players. :cry:

He deserves a call up to the national team.

Such a clever wee player. Always on the move and always a goal threat. Halliday couldn't find him in a phone box

He, again, strolled through the game on Sunday and proved himself to be better than anyone in Scotland out-with the players he lines up alongside. He just seems to find space that other players can't as well as having very good close technical control and a natural ability to exploit defenders's blind sides. It helped that their midfield couldn't get near him (even when it seemed as though they had set up deliberately to stop him seeing the ball). Top game from the man.

loved the way he was always an option to play a 1-2 with, lost count how many times he popped up to help his teammates out whilst also dragging the hun out of position creating space.

he's a cracking wee player

I was wrong about this one.

Some difference, if that finish was Messi, Sky would still be showing it this morning on a continuous loop.

I'm already wondering how he fits into the cup final team , assuming everyone is fit.

Big TAm is the ultimate sheep skelper and must play if fit, yet Callum and Armstrong can't possibly be dropped on current form.

Nice problem for BR to have.

Really good squad player to have in and around the team at the minute as is a bit of an unsung hero. Question marks at a higher level i.e. Europe but was superb on Sunday. Great finish for the goal

Agreed. Form and fitness will mean everything over the next month in deciding what the starting XI will be, but given Rogic's credentials against the Sheep, it just seems like his kind of game fitness permitting.

Just a fantastic player to have round the squad, if everyone is fit and available he's never going to be a first pick but he doesn't complain ( looking at you Griffiths), able to fill in in a number of positions and
rarely lets us down.

Successful teams needs guys like McGregor.

Puts paid to all of the bs, "he's all the player he's every going to be at (insert age)

Proper development takes time, patience and a vision of what a player needs to do to blossom.

As well as a proper manager.

Do they just ask every one of our players if they want to leave :lol:

Deserves a new deal with us, hopefully it gets sorted in the summer.

I thought he signed a 5 year deal under RD.

Glad he's getting a bit of praise after some of the stick he was getting earlier in the season.
