very (very) impressed with Henderson.contribution in last 2 games superb
surprised by his confidence level.seems quite intelligent (in interviews) and crucially in terms of "playing" intelligently.
one of few midfielders who receives the ball and looks forward and actually hangs on to the ball driving forward as opposed to popping it back 10 yards (as many "modern day midfielders" seem all too happy to do)
ED, I know he was on the scene before and then dropped away but do you see potential in Liam Henderson or was it more a case of weak opposition allowing him to "look better" than he actually is?
I am all for signings but if Henderson was to emerge, then why not? Money saved and a "hungry" player with a lot to prove
Im getting "Henderson" printed on my my Celtic pyjamas :)
{Ed007's Note - I like Henderson, he's a bit rough around the edges but bearing in mind he's still only 18 I think he could have a future with us. It doesn't matter that's it weak opposition, you can only beat what's put in front of you and at his age he's banking experience and learning.}
True ED re "you can only play what's in front of you"…18 …I thought he was older
very impressive as an 18 year old …he has that surety and cockiness about him …but plays as though he is older
{Ed007's Note - I just double-checked, yeah he's only 18.}
I hope he is coached wisely and used intelligently as McGregor seems to have went backwards since being played and relied on too much earlier in the season.
Forrest is another example of 'burn out' after initial hype and early pressure.

Was Henderson not voted the best 17 year old prospect in world football or something like that by UEFA, last season or season before I think ed?
{Ed007's Note - That was Calvin Miller back in 2013 (might have been 2012).}
My theory on macgregor (not his fault per se) was that he "scored" in his early games without playing terribly well and this prolonged his "spell" in the team
i did nit disagree when he was removed but I wouldn't write him off …long way to go for him (whether at CFC or elsewhere)
The loan to Notts County wouldn't have done him any harm in terms of being in a state of preparedness for CFC start
