One wrote: “Let’s be honest at first team level he’s not done anything yet. He was a hype player as a teenager at Celtic, it’s now his time to deliver if he is capable. He won’t get a much lower level to prove he is good enough.

"I’s up to the manger to play him. It’s clearly not working with the players he has now so no reason not to get this boy fit and playing to see what he is about.”

Another stated: “We’ve scored four goals in seven games and now we’ve bought a player who has scored one senior goal in his career, so unless he has very high assist rates and we have a goal scorer lined up in the next couple of days to back this signing, then our recruitment doesn’t have any strategy to it.”
