lady-isobel-barnett Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 More important in my mind is the loanee has gotta have something to prove to the parent club (or would be buyers). Simply going out to get game time keep match fit etc isn't enough. McGregor could undoubtedly be a great loan signing but, scaled down a division, so should Slane, di Giacomo and Steven Lennon. The character of the player is all important especially in the 2nd half of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter the outcome of this, isn't it great that we are looking at a very promising Celtic player, who has been getting regular games for the side, even if most of them are from the bench and is very highly rated by their supporters. Personally might have preferred Scott Allan just to see the seethe on the Sevco supporters faces in my work...lol Edited December 27, 2015 by Lindau 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally might have preferred Scott Allan just to see the seethe on the Sevco supporters faces in my work...lol are we looking at him though? Or is it the press just making up stories? Remember in the summer we were reportedly being linked with Islam Feruz. Archie said he has no idea where they conjured that one from, as he has at no point looked with a view to signing Feruz. McGregor would be a great signing but just being reported in The Sun does not mean there is any substance to the story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garscube Road End Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 As he is regularly playing for Celtic, including today, why would he be loaned out? And the fact he's 22 means it's not a youngster out to learn his trade. Don't see it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic are going to strengthen in January, so they could ship him out. Personally I am against loan signings from teams in the same division.

Veejag Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 BBC, reliable as ever, say we want Callum McGregor (yes, the only consistent performer at Celtic who is getting a serious run of games in the first team) on loan.

ScottyDFA Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Last time I responded on a thread like this, I suggested we should try to sign Liam Boyce from Cliftonville... Don't do other clubs' scouting for them - threads like this are only good for selling red herrings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
