Celtic captain Callum McGregor thinks that the Hoops’ performance at Ibrox in their 3-3 draw on Sunday was as good as any display he has seen from his teammates away from home in a derby.
In the first half, the visitors assumed total control. Daizen Maeda opened the scoring less than half a minute in before Matt O’Riley deftly chipped the ball home from 12 yards just after the half-hour mark.
Things couldn’t have gone any better for The Bhoys in the maiden 45 minutes and although they eventually went on to draw the game from a position of utmost strength, McGregor is satisfied with how Celtic played.
The skipper only has one gripe from the game as he hailed his teammates’ performance. He said: [The Celtic Way] “They were superb, but the whole team were outstanding.
“We had the confidence to play through the pitch and we were a real threat at the top end as well. The team performance was as good as I’ve seen here.
“In terms of the first 45 minutes, I thought it was outstanding. The only criticism is that we maybe don’t get the third goal to give us more comfort in the game.
“Second half, we showed good personality to get through the sticky spells as well.”
Some fans will understandably be slightly disappointed at yesterday’s result, but with six league games to go, the Hoops’ title destiny remains within their hands.
The players know that if they win the last of their Premiership matches, they will be champions come mid-May.
