I don't agree with that at all, Armstrong has done nothing in his Celtic career so far. McGregor has played much better yet gets a lot more abuse. McGregor has also dealt with that abuse and came back a better player who doesn't hide. Armstrong has not. As for potential, Armstrong is actually 2 years older than McGregor and is a worse player. Its strange that you think Armstrong has potential and not McGregor (going by your argument) when one has clearly shown he has what it takes to play for us. Armstrong actually spoke a while back about how he was finding it mental tough to play for us. McGregor has taken all sorts of abuse and came back a string player, it's really clear who out of the two has potential to play for us, it's the one who's actually doing it right now. |

Think you missed my earlier post regarding the quality we need to be signing, my point being we have spent money on the likes of Armstrong, large wages on others that look disinterested, more than a few who have been nothing short of a waste of a jersey, that's a bigger problem than McGregor is. Do you honestly think I'm happy with what's being served up? Don't kid yourself. I'll tell you what if the likes of Moyes comes in I'd hazard a guess that McGregor would get more game time than quite a few, others have covered various other points on why he deserves his place. He's been a regular on merit, the same can't be said for his more experienced / skill full team mates, that's the bigger issue. |

McGregor is a better footballer than Hartley and Robson. And we got to the last 16 with them in our midfield. |

Delighted for him. Been singing his praises for a while and glad hes getting the recognition he deserves. Plays with his head up and looks like he lives playing football. |

Cracking wee player, constantly passing and moving into space. Show some great skill in beating Shinnie and then the composure to pick out Lustig. Think he's really underrated by a lot of our support. |

Start of the season I was far from his biggest fan, felt he brought very little to the squad, a bit player who I felt was never going to make the grade with us. Glad to see him develop through the months, think he's been wonderful at times, full of energy, commitment and a great attitude. Was make or break season for him this year, he's made it for me. |

I thought we made a big mistake giving him such a long contract but it looks like he will prove to be a useful member of the squad. He's knuckled down, shows for the ball, gives a good shift and likes to have a pop at goal. I'd still like to think we'll acquire better players that won't see him as a 1st choice pick but he's not bad to have around. Loved his play in setting up Lustig's goal today. |

More than happy to be proved wrong about the lad - delighted he is getting praised and hope he can continue to build on his current progress. |

If you think Bitton, Ki, Kayal, and Robson were superior to him at his age then I understand where you're coming from. But I think you have that all wrong. |

I still like his style of play more than I like him. That kinda player is exactly what we need in midfield. No more carthorses. |

I didn't think he was good enough but he's been very impressive lately and has done enough to be in and around the squad next season. He has a chance. |

People underestimated him previously because he was hit and miss previously. But he has definitely improved and has become quite an intelligent footballer. I do still think that he could do with a bit more muscle as he can be easily brushed off the ball, so he is far from being the complete midfielder. He needs to be in a balanced midfield, one that has a ball winning defensive capability to allow him to attack. In some previous matches we have had McGregor and Mackay-Steven in midfield and we suffered from being too lightweight. Another big plus point is his ability to score goals - he is actually a good finisher. It will be interesting to see how he prospers under a new manager. |
