Darren Mcgregor

[King conrad]

Love this guy, absolutely solid and has pace about him and in my opinion a better defender than Hanley for Scotland.
I realise hanley plays at a higher level but it hasn't stopped john mcginn .

[Highland_Hibee]

I'm not going to get dragged into the international debate but agreed he is a complete defender for us. We are lucky he is a Hibee and he wanted to come home. Rangers have not replaced him with anything better that is for sure.

Thought he played well today. Not sure he's Scotland class, but neither is Hanley.

[hibee_girl]

He gets better every week, thought he was outstanding today. You just know he'd run through a brick wall for us as well, he gets it. :thumbsup:

[matty_f]

He's superb.

[Mr White]

He's superb.

:agree: he's a class defender

[King conrad]

He's superb.
wonder if the Falkirk player still has a sore face from getting slapped "out the way bitch" wish he could get away with doing it to houston

McGregor should get in ahead of him on looks alone. [emoji106]

Absolutely. Hanley's beard alone is a pathetic excuse.

[HFCdeb]

Captain material.

[Earlydelivery]

Love the leither . And that's from a lochender :not worth

[CMac1988]

Captain material.

Idd. I may get a bit if stick for this but he'd be my captain ahead of Gray. Always grateful for Grays contribution in the final but he doesn't quite have the leadership skills that I'd like to see on the pitch. Nowhere to be seen for most of today when you needed a captain to defend the players, get involved, offer a word etc. and most importantly stay on top of the ref.

My feelings, too. Love Gray, but McGregor has "captain" written all over him.

[Jones28]

He was tremendous today, and has been ever since he pulled on a Hibs top in anger.

[lugz]

Easily our best player imo. Burst out laughing when he ragdolled one of their players with a shoulder barge. He's so quick as well.

Yep, reminded me of the Scott Allan/hoose painter clash.
Darren was top drawer today

[chasitup]

Absolute class today, so dominant.

[The Harp]

Must admit it took me a wee while to warm to Darren because of where he came from (Ibrox, not Leith 😉).
However, he's won me over with consistent MOTM performances like today's. He's obviously living the dream right now which is great for him and the Club. Here's hoping he stays fit and gets a new deal to keep him at ER to the end of his playing days.

[Broken Gnome]

What was up with him today? Was borderline possessed in the first twenty minutes.

Worst booking of a footballer I've seen in a long time too.

[kaimendhibs]

He is a brilliant player with fantastic attitude. Future club captain surely

Thought he was f#@king brilliant yet again !!
Darren McGregor your one of our own. 😀😀

[Slim Shady]

If he was still at the Zombie club he'd be playing for Scotland by now

[B.H.F.C]

Sums up our problems going forward that a centre half got MOTM in a game where the opposition crossed the halfway line about 3 times.

[northstandhibby]

We're very lucky to have a player of Darren's talent at ER. Top player.

[HibbiesandtheBaddies]

:agree: he's a class defender

:greengrin

[Shrekko]

Mr Hibs.

Wish he'd been here years earlier.

[LustForLeith]

Player of the season so far for me

[Scouse Hibee]

Player of the season so far for me

And for me by a mile. Pace,power and aggression in abundance top defender.

[HibbyAndy]

Strolls it every week.

They get 1 corner and put 1 decent ball in the box and score from it, as much as I like him, he and the other 2 that went for that ball cost us points yet again. We seem incapable of defending high balls in the box.

[High-On-Hibs]

Hanlons a better defender than Hanley.

[Pretty Boy]

Am I the only one who thought McGreggor was at fault for their goal? Attacked a ball he had no need to go for and left Baird totally unmarked.

I like McGreggor and on the whole he was good yesterday but I'd question his decision making at the goal, caught ball watching and showed a lack of awareness of the game around him.

I said as much at the game , why didn't one of them scream MY BALL leaving the others to pick up a man . We have learnt nothing from the play off debacle.

Wasn't at the game but that was my reaction watching the goal highlights on the official site. McGregor had Baird when the corner was taken and then ran towards the ball where he did nothing other than leave his man unmarked to score.

Not even close either. He's been consistently excellent for weeks on end and has been our best signing along with McGinn for a long time.

No definitely at fault also. Shame as he was excellent otherwise.

[Dashing Bob S]

McGregor is great player but his role at the back means that he isn't tested to the extent McGinn is in the midfield.

I think he could easily make the step down to Scotland - he's proven himself at a lower level with The Rangers, St Mirren and Cowdenbeath.

[lyonhibs]

Definitely at fault for the goal yesterday - what a total lack of communication to have 3 guys jumping (and losing) an aerial challenge against 1 man.

You don't need to be Einstein to work out that's going to cause issues once the ball is knocked down.

He was also at fault (apologies, I don't get to many games these days) for the Ross County winner in the League Cup final by bewilderingly not covering across and letting the RC boy run most of our half unchallenged.

A great player at this level (and dashingly handsome to boot) but definitely suffers from the odd outburst of flawed decision making.

Sorry to be Mr Pedantic but I don't think you can shout "My ball". You have to call a name like "Darren's ball". I'm sure that used to be the case however, the rules and have changed.

[Albanian Hibs]

Love him 😍

[hibby6270]

You could argue he was the best of all the signings during Stubbs's reign.
A The Rangers player one day and a Hibby the next day. Best opportune signing the club had made in years. :thumbsup:

Gave away their player of the year for free to us and they still don't get why they are broke. Idiots.......

You are absolutely correct. It wasn't just Darren but IMHO he was most at fault really. There was someone running back with the Falkirk player who headed the ball and Hanlon had left his zone at the back of the six yard box to attack it. Needlessly, and with less chance of reaching the ball than Hanlon, McGregor left his zone (and Baird) in the middle of the six yard box to attack the same ball. The rest, as they say, is history.

It's individual errors really rather than zonal marking that caused the goal. Having said that - I still believe that not having personal responsibility for a particular opposition player at set pieces is a problem as well as the "running-jump" issue. If Darren had been concentrating on Baird or if Hanlon had actually been marking the Falkirk player who headed the ball from the start of his run the goal would have been much less likely IMHO.

[ancient hibee]

He seems a good player but at this level it's difficult to tell how good.Losing an avoidable goal in the only attack doesn't do much for his case,
