Just in case you don't know but here is a brief history of weeMac..a copy of part of a thread I made on the wee man...

weeMac is a typical stereotype Mariner player, small nay dominative in size, great balance, delicate & a soft touch, speed with a deft passing game. A comment from the Celtic forum about his move to Australia ; a gifted technical player, but maybe not physical enough for the Australian league.

He is re building his stalled career after an injury. At 22 he is out to prove he is back to his best. His passing at times has been sublime, to date often players have not read him and the passes have been wasted. But as the team gels Wee Mac is going to make a huge impression on the league. 

Man U wanted him at 18 he choice to stay at Celtic.. his background. Singed by Celtic in Jan 2003, the youngest player ever to play in Celtic first team, played in Celtics under 19s side were they won 2 Scottish Cups and 1 league title, played for Scotland 35 times U 17 to U 20, in the final of the U19s European Championship. One of his most memorabile games was when Scotland U19 knocked out France in the EC, the French team included, Real�s Madrid Benzima and Arsenals  Sammy Nazari.

The closest player I can recall is Juno in style, he is that good BTW and will take us to the finals.

As much as I like Brown defensive role, I think Mcglinchey can do defensive work in the midfield but more importantly, Mcglinchey can move the ball around. The Bahrain midfield is fairly quick but Mcglinchey can match them and turn the ball over better. Mcglinchey may be a a tad smaller but the Bahrain midfield is no better in height or physical to him. So Brown physical game is not need until the end of the game if we are looking to close shop. 3-4-3 formation is ideal for Mcglinchey because it is more fluid and direct on attack and allows room for the creative players to influence the teams game. Brown's physical game style is not suited for 3-4-3 but 3-4-3 more suited to Mcglinchey creativity style.AllWhitebelievr2009-10-14 00:58:26
