colinstein 294 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) never been a fan of McKay but he knows how to put a ball through for Wallace to run on to. We've had lots of joy down that wing with a rejuvenated Wallace. Oduwa looks a player who can run through defences but he needs to see the pass inside the back when Wallace is bombing in from the wing. He expended a lot of energy against Airdrie running up that wing. Until we develop that side of the boys game it'll be McKay to start for me.

LucyBlue 0 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Have to say, I've always been a fan of Mc'Kay. He's the sort of player Celtic have been producing for years but we never have.....a guy that will just run at people with a fair bit of skill and cocky attitude. I'm glad he's back, I'm glad Warburton sees something in him. He's a great wee player with a lot to offer if given the chance. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much of this is because the Academies of both clubs have had a different perspective on development. Celtic have brought kids in and told them to "express themselves" and be selfish (to an extent) whilst we have had a philosophy of building and playing as a team. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucyBlue 0 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) Then maybe they've been right up to now. McMullan for St Mirren gave us problems....on loan from them. Who is the last truly skillful player we've produced? (save McKay) Edited August 27, 2015 by LucyBlue 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Who is the last truly skillful player we've produced? (save McKay) Lewis Macleod was with our Academy from age 10. Different type of player from McKay (who I also rate highly!), but Macleod is also blessed with great skill and natural talent. Before he got injured then sold off for peanuts last season I regarded Lewis as probably being our best player. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Statt, who just got promoted to Academy Operations and Scouting Coordinator, raves about Lewis MacLeod, probably because he coached him at that age group when Lewis first arrived 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,307 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I fully expect to see lewis mcleod back at ibrox at some point. I don't ever expect to see Lewis McLeod back if he gets himself fully fit. He is a box to box midfielder who chips in with a few goals who should be well suited to English football. It's only now he's gone I think we're beginning to realise how good he was & did anyone notice how the team deteriorated even more in the second half of last season after he left? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our was a great team with bags of skill. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
