    Deserves enormous credit for being the glue that held the team together at 5 mins in.

    From 2-0 down 5 minutes in until half time going in 2-2, Callums performance and leadership to get to that stage honestly, it’s right up there with the best * outwith obvious big moments and games we all remember from players.

    When his career for us is done and dusted, through all his great moments for us that’s something I’ll be pointing out to show hos sheer quality and leadership. Because at the start of him doing it, he was isolated as * in there himself. He coached those around him into keeping the head, then getting a grip of the game. And it let guys like Engels and Hatate have the confidence to actually play. * unreal from him.

    It’s possible but honestly a proper defensive mid destroyer sort I don’t expect them to, and if they do (which is possible obviously) then I’d be on my feet going mental for them. That full right side for us got ripped to * shreds, pulled about everywhere for that to happen. Honestly rewatching it, it was outclassed in that moment. 3 players on that side Aj, Kuhn and Engels got rattled didn’t defend as a team, got ripped to shreds not knowing where to be.

    If he plays next 2 matches he will complete his 500th Celtic match against Dundee at Celtic Park

    Mental thinking back watching his debut, Ronny deciding he’s a winger after a good loan spell as a CM, next to Grealish.

    Doesn’t feel that long ago, and he’s near to 500 games, over 100 in Europe, captain, one of the highest decorated winners we’ve ever had. And never once lost a final for us, with the amount of finals he’s actually played.


    When he’s all said and done here, IMO still a good few years away that, he’ll go down as up there with my favourites ever. HenriK, Lubo and Broony that. He’ll join that. Probably already has but could only promote Broony there when he retired.


    Unquestionably a * legend for us.

    mcgregor had to get himself in front of that final ball aye they played around the others mcgregor was the only one in a position to do anything about it.somone with a more defencive outlook i think would have been throwing themselves at that
