Callum McGregor

Paulo Bernardo has the ability to deputise and give Callum a rest sometimes. It's a shame Bernardo seems to have completely forgotten how to play football.

 

I said often, not never. Just when I think of most teams captains, most of them play week in week out.

I agree though that someone who can add something different defensively could be beneficial in games and I wouldn't be against seeing McGregor moved up one or playing a double pivot on occasion.

 

He's clearly not in the plans .

 

What makes you think that? Thought it’s him being delayed returning his break starting later due to U21’s Euros? Similar to AJ and CCV with their international duty

 

Thought he was head and shoulders above everyone on the park today. Amazes having played in the middle of the park myself how easy he makes the game look.

 

Was a class act yday. Done everything. Took us forward with his half turns n passing so many times and read play so well to stop their attacks and win the ball back on a few occassions. Unlucky to have his goal chalked off

 

If we want to see him consistently play to the level we know he can then we definitely need someone to be able to cover in there. Whether that could be Bernardo or Engles it will be down to Rodgers to manage him correctly.

 

Good yesterday - but you expect him to be good in these games at home to SPL teams sitting deep where hes plenty of time and space on the ball.

Put our midfield under pressure and it has a habit of looking pretty ordinary. We have struggled to win the midfield battle in most of the recent matches vs Rangers.

 

Class on grass, the metronome.

Someone told me yesterday that McGregor is very passionate about playing every minute he's available for, for Celtic. He has to be talked into the occasional rests he does get. According to the person who told me, that's largely why he only gets rested sometimes and it was the same under Ange.

 

Not really groundbreaking stuff this mate


Everybody knows how passionate Callum is

 

Not claiming it's groundbreaking. But being told McGregor is passionate to the point of being angry if he doesn't play, goes a long way towards explaining (if true of course) why he doesn't get rested often enough.

 

Aye I know but still


Been clear since Callum’s debut how passionate he is through interviews and what not

 

Everyone complains that he's not rested so I think it was pretty valuable insight.

Bit odd that you replied to it like that

 

Don't anger our chief oracle/gimp.

 

The captain shouldn’t be rested it’s his job to set the example
