His off the ball movement is actually really good, even the people that don't particularly like him have pointed that out No part of his game is "atrocious", stating stuff like that is actually embarrassing. |

To me the thing is he doesnt lift and inspire the team when things arent going well. He feeds off others playing well. Probably down to his age. a good player, but ultimately if Brendan is going to take us up a level he`s gong to need better than McGregor. |

Not good enough for CL from games ive seen him . More than capable domestically and gaffer seems a fan. Think he is still young, so maybe BR can get him to be a better player at European level. Ive been critical in past but last 2/3 games he has played well deserves credit and more chances to start. |

He's the reason we came back from 2-0 down to beat Motherwell. Inspired the team and changed the game. |

I'll always like him, got good energy, DOESN'T hide, passes & moves well & can score/create goals. He takes instructions on board & doesn't moan - that's why managers (including Brendan) like him. A good team-mate & plays with a smile. I can't see why people don't like him, or want us to sell. I understand that there are better players, but he can do his job to a good level & has the application to get better. |

The logic being fans aren't allowed their own opinions, unless it coincides with the approval of the current Celtic manager? |

Every great team needs reliable stand-in players who are happy to play that role and will always give their all. At Man United, Ferguson knew he could rely on Phil Neville, Darren Fletcher, John O'Shea, Wes Brown, Park Ji Sung etc and these guys always played a massive role in title winning and CL winning squads despite being nowhere near the quality of their star players. I see McGregor filling that role for us over his career. |

Agreed. He came on and started running directly in between their lines and it totally opened up the final third. (clearly BR made a couple of changes which helped this but McGregor was the most obvious and impressive aspect for me) |

He played very well that day, and has been at least satisfactory in most games. I get that he rarely, if ever, sets fire to a game, but he is generally very tidy. His problem is that he is uninspiring. I like him, and want to see him stay, but he is about as moreish as Aldi's coloured cheddar. |

football is not complicated, if you think mcgregor is a player who is always looking to move into space to receive a pass then you are either hard of sight, or just don't know what you are talking about. Scottish football fans can be a bit blinkered sometimes. It not all kick and rush these days if you want to compete with the best. McGregor is still young be he seems to be lacking a very basic aspect of his game |

McGregor whilst probably never going to a first name on the starting sheet is still a great squad player. Over the course of a season he contributes well, is a good team player, and ultimately guys like him who came through the ranks ensures we don't have to waste money on squad players that cost plenty in transfers and wages. If BR keeps building and ups the level of player and competition then perhaps his time will be up. I have no doubt if that happens he will get a decent move and make a good living out of football. As it currently stands I am more than happy to see him in and around the first team. |

That post is even more embarrassing than your first one My opinion on McGregor is continually highlighted on here as a key aspect of his game. I suppose that everyone else must be hard of sight or don't know what they are talking about? I guess we're all wrong, as well as our manager who continually picks him. You clearly know nothing at all about football

Moving the ball on and then moving into space to receive a pass is exactly what McGregor does

A few think it's the only good think he does Choosing that to criticise him is really bizarre. His shooting and physical strength are aspects of his game that need to improve. Not his ability to pass and move into space. |
