Johnny Kenny F Celtic b.2003

Great first half hour for him in the Old Firm,goal and looking very lively….

[Fixer82]

Yeah he really needs to be called up

[Predator]

Took his goal nicely. Hopefully he keeps going now. Confidence is such a huge factor for strikers in particular and he should bang in a few more if he can ride this wave.

Taken off at half-time with Celtic 3-0 down away to Midtjylland in the Europa League; seems to have been fairly ineffectual, although the same could be said for most of the team. May well still get called up if Ferguson doesn't make it (and he's not in Roma's squad tonight), but I think the SPL seems particularly bad this season, so I don't know how much an option he is for us even if he is getting a couple of starts for Celtic.

The SPL is absolutely terrible these days, the closing of the gap between the two Glasgow teams and the rest isn't because the rest have gotten any better. You only have to look at the Irish players that are performing in the division - Scales, Kenny, O'Hora, McGrath, Ferry, Phillips, McEntee, Molloy etc. Most of them would be down in League 1 and League 2 if they were playing in England - Scales would be the only one that would potentially hold down a starting place with a Championship team.

I know Jamie McGrath didn't do it at Wigan but I honestly think he's easily good enough to do it in the championship

[Eirambler]

My recollection is that he wasn't even getting his game with them when they were in League 1.

[pineapple stu]

Yep. No idea what happened there, but started one league game early on, then got one minute over the rest of the season, and was mostly not even in the squad. There's "not doing it" and there's that.

[Trequartista20]

Given the injury situation, I probably would have had McGrath in the squad. A hard worker with a degree of guile and good set-piece ability.

Kenny should be in, but we rarely select players based on form.

Scores again today, against Kilmarnock.

With Ferguson not in the Roma squad, you'd imagine Kenny will be added in the next day or two

The fact that McGrath has never disgraced himself in a green jersey tells me he’s more than good enough for League 1 or Championship.
The manager probably just didn’t fancy him or had another player in his position he preferred.

Or it wasn’t the manager’s decision to bring him on.

There's an article about it somewhere, which absolves McGrath of the Wigan debacle
