I thought it was great that we were willing to give young guys like McGregor their first team opportunities.

Absolutely but ideally not to the point where he or they would hinder the team which he began to as the season progressed under RD.

It was part of their development, and much needed.

It didn’t pay off for Ronny, but Brendan is getting some solid young profressionals with a lot of experience to work his magic on.

Should maybe have done better with the chance but the ball into him wasn't great. A couple of foot in front of him he could have run onto it but Griffiths almost played it too far into his feet.

He's improved immensely in the past year, to the point where you put him in that position v BMG again and he takes that chance.

Used to cry (well almost :lol: ) when RD started him regularly when he first arrived as manager as it was clear he wasn't good enough then but one of the biggest compliments I can give him is that these days I find myself almost begging BR to bring him on to help shut up shop in tight games like last night and Saturday. It's the obvious substitution in these sort of games and more often than not, it pays off big time.

Pre BR, I'd have happily seen him leave but now? He is undeniably a big player for us.
I remember thinking giving him the 5 year contract in 2014 was a silly mistake and a sign of downsizing and continued mediocrity. Fortunately I don't make football related decisions for a living.
To be fair it was a sign of downsizing at the time. Difference is we've now got a management team capable of improving young players.

Is WGS allowed to call him up to replace Brown?

My thoughts exactly. He's a not bad replacement for Armstrong at least. Brown probably irreplaceable for either Scotland or Celtic though.

Think BR was ripping the piss out of him for it after the final whistle. Great man management. :worthy:

I agree he's improved massively but he fluffed a fairly simple chance on Wednesday too.

He won't, and even if he did he wouldn't play him. Too subborn.

Is he worth a start in big games over Armstrong and Rogic yet?
