Callum McGregor - how has he accumulated 19 caps for Scotland

[brog]

I thought McGregor did well but I would still have liked him to be more positive at times. There was a time in 2nd half when he almost had to be pushed to go forward to retain the ball. Don't mean to be churlish but out of 11 starters he was probably most anonymous for me.

Heard he’d run 5k …. By half time! Worked really hard tonight

Not interested in putting him down as the whole Scotland team done well tonight but Bobby Madden pointed out before the referees run around 10-11km a game nowadays. 5km in a half for a centre mid is nothing!

i honestly must be watching a different game every time he plays...never saw him do anything much, never heard his name in commentary much, never noticed him or what he brings to the team, saw a couple of back passes as usual, not what we need, waste of a jersey.....dont get the praise

He along with the other two in midfield were superb.

Ball playing, leadership, effort, direction they had it all.

Callum McGregor has suffered the last wee while because of the amount of game time he’s had and the pressures at Celtic but he’s a terrific player who Scotland are very lucky to have.

They complemented each other perfectly and he was an integral part in the job done by Scotland.

I thought he was brilliant tonight in a very strong team performance.

Excellent at taking the ball in under pressure in a congested midfield against good players.

Funny how good he can look, and then how poor he can also look at times.

Yep complimented the other midfielders very well. We kept the ball really well against a very good team and he was a key player in that. A very good technical player.

Agree totally.

McGregor is a very underrated player probably in the same sense that Barry Ferguson and Paul McStay were in previous Scotland line ups, he always makes himself available and is brave enough to take that extra second on the ball, all of them made the game look easy.

Obviously players with that attribute don't exactly grow on trees but I reckon it's his "type" that Hibs have lacked the most and been striving to find for the past few seasons.

They're the ones that can keep their composure and keep wanting to get on the ball and create when they've got what seems like 3 St Johnstone players trying to crowd them out every time they get it.

And they're the ones hung out to dry when they've got a few folk on their team who don't fancy it.

McStay was pish though 😁

I think bringing Gilmour in actually helped McGregor, it allowed him to be himself and do what he does best but keeping it simple with little triangular passes etc, McGinn doing the hard graft in midfield and the other 2 keeping it moving worked really well.

Teenagers struggle to see how good an unspectacular player is

Just the 700 games for Celtic and 76 for Scotland
For 14 consecutive seasons he never played any less than 38 games for Celtic

What a goal!

Always knew he was a fantastic footballer.

Am I correct in saying that apart from a penalty, all our goals at Euros have been shots from outside the box.

Good goal terribly negative midfielder. Reminds me of a slow Neil Lennon in his playing days.

Apart from his goal he was back to his invisible self tonight.

[hhibs]

Still rank for Scotland ,he and Armstrong were both performing at way below what was needed,again.

He'd win shadow marker of the tournament hands down.
