This would be a huge mistake.
It can't be denied that he isn't technically as good as our first team midfield. We don't need him to be Kamara, we need the opposite for when the time comes.
McCrorie is to us in Scottish football what Hemdani was for us in Europe. Hemdani would never play at Tynecastle but would be immense for us in Lyon, McCrorie won't play for us in Porto but is immense for the battles of the Scottish game.
He's simply not in the same category as our other youth or fringe players. He's a warrior and has proven it with MOM performances against Celtic, Aberdeen and HIbs.
There's going to be a time when our lovely football doesn't quite work against a hard working physical team and we're going to need a man who will put his body on the line to win every tackle and header.
I can't stress enough how much of a blunder letting him go would be.
