I like him. But i dont see why he gets the amount of praise he gets on here. He rarely takes a man on and is a frustrating player for me and i think he lacks confidence and i think its due to his size.

That said i know hes young and i hope he stays with us. But hes not "brilliant" like some say

When I watched him in the third division, I wasn't sure if he was going to make it at Rangers. He looked like your typical one trick pony winger who wasn't consistent enough.

Going out on loan for a few years done him well though and he's proved me wrong. Been like a new signing this season.

Really impressed with him this season.

With all the stories about his attitude I thought he was another promising player who would not be able to progress past the lower leagues (yes I know where we are at the moment for the smartasses).

Good to see he has it in him to be a major part of this Rangers side.

I agree, it's weird, in div 3 I hardly noticed how good McLeod was because Barrie was the one i noticed taking players on and being a bit tricky but this has mostly disappeared from his game. He's still very effective and yesterday he actually took players on more but still I seem to be missing something because he doesn't stand out for me. It's been the same with Oduwa in recent weeks there's been games where all I've seen is wasteful play for him but RM has been full of praise. My biggest criticism of McKay is still that he doesn't shout for the ball, he so often is in a great position to get forward and while it's partly the responsibility of the other player he doesn't do enough to let them know he's wanting the ball and often ends up coming back towards Wallace to collect the ball, simply meaning he then has more players ahead of him to beat. Effective and a definite starter for me, and can't argue with his stats but not a standout for me.
