    Looks possible that he could play his 500 th Celtic match against Villa in Champions League. Depends on league cup matches and postponed league matches.

    I would be tempted to rest him on Saturday for the game with St J and keep him fresh for Dortmund. Give McCowan a game alongside Bernardo and Engels.

    He’s just off the back of a good rest the Scotland games. He’ll get more rests this season than he ever has

    It's enough though. He'll have a 2 week break, between games atleast, in September, October and November. That'll be plenty for him. He's just turned 31, not 35

    Everything he says is so media trained. Would like to see his real personality for once.

    I watched the Bratislava game again. McGregor was incredible, much better than I had remembered TBH. No offence to Scales (who was our best defender) or Engels, but McGregor should have got MOTM in that one IMHO.

    Too often taken for granted. What a player the boy is.

    I have heard 2nd hand he is very intense and focused. Might not be the case under all circumstances, but also might well be what most matches his "real personality" for most.

    All depends on what you mean by "real" personality. Not sure that most people will ever see that. Which is probably normal.
