In a significant development for Celtic, captain Callum McGregor has made a timely return to training just days before the highly anticipated Glasgow Derby against Rangers.
McGregor’s presence on the training pitch is a substantial boost for the team as they prepare for the monumental clash this Sunday at midday at Ibrox.
The influential midfielder has been sidelined for the last five matches, leading to widespread speculation that his season might have prematurely concluded due to injury concerns. His unexpected absence left a noticeable gap in Celtic’s lineup. Something Tomoki Iwata has filled in the interim.
However, the sight of McGregor back in action, donning his training gear and actively participating with the squad, has quickly turned the tide of expectations.
His readiness to face Celtic’s arch-rivals in one of the most crucial fixtures of the season has injected a renewed sense of optimism and confidence throughout the club and its supporters.
McGregor’s return is particularly timely given the importance of the upcoming derby. As Celtic aims to assert their dominance and secure vital points, having their captain available for selection could prove to be a game-changer in the dynamics of the match.
The club has yet to officially comment on McGregor’s fitness level or confirm his participation in Sunday’s match. Nonetheless, his involvement in team training sessions is a clear indicator of his progress and potential readiness to take part in the high-stakes encounter.
As the countdown to the derby continues, all eyes will be on McGregor and his potential impact on the field. His leadership, experience, and skill set are invaluable to Celtic, especially in matches of this magnitude.
