Following the departure of manager Ange Postecoglou, Celtic Captain Callum McGregor has expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to work with the Aussie and reflected on the team’s achievements over the past two seasons.
McGregor praised the relentless focus of the manager, the players, and the entire backroom team, which led to the team winning five out of six domestic trophies, including another Treble at the weekend. This, he said, was a testament to the hard work everyone had put in.
He also took the opportunity to thank the Celtic supporters for their unwavering support throughout the year. The celebrations at Hampden and Celtic Park, would remain etched in his memory forever.
Under Postecoglou’s direction, McGregor said, the team had delivered something very special to the fans by playing an exciting and attractive brand of football. Like all the players, he wished Postecoglou great success in his next challenge.
