Brendan Rodgers commented yesterday that Brown v McGinn was a 'No contest' and that young McGinn wasn't in Broonies league. Do you think that was him playing it down or was it a veiled message that he isn't interested in signing him? . Personally I'm not convinced he's much better than what we have or even if we need a midfielder. Ntcham is the future for us in there if we can hold onto him.

I think it was more a comment on the stature of the players rather than ability. Brown has been Celtic and Scotland captain for years and played in huge games whereas John McGinn is getting compared to him after a handful of caps and one or two cups. It’s not paying Brown the respect he deserves.

Brendan raved about McGinn after the Hibs v Hearts game last year. I'm hoping yesterday's comments were the first shots fired for January's negotiations to sign him.
