Celtic captain Callum McGregor has reached a significant milestone in his Celtic career, netting his 50th league goal for the Hoops during last night’s 5-1 win over Aberdeen at Celtic Park. The captain’s latest achievement highlights his consistent contribution to the team over the years, further solidifying his status as one of Celtic’s most influential players over the last 20 years.

A Look Back at McGregor’s Celtic Journey

McGregor’s journey with Celtic began back in 2014 when he scored his first league goal for the club in a 3-0 victory against St Johnstone on his Premiership debut. Since then, he has steadily become one of the club’s most dependable players, balancing both defensive duties and his attacking threat going forward. McGregor’s calm, composed style of play and leadership qualities have made him a key figure at Celtic Park, under multiple managers.

On a night that will be remembered by fans for McGregor’s 50th league goal, Celtic triumphed over Aberdeen, securing a dominant 5-1 win. McGregor’s goal came at a crucial time, just before half-time reinforcing his reputation as a player who steps up when needed. The goal was a testament to his vision and technique, highlighting his ability to score from midfield and add to his impressive tally.

Previous Milestones: The Road to 50 Goals

McGregor’s 25th league goal came in a 6-0 victory over Ross County on October 19, 2019, a game where he played a pivotal role in a huge win.
