Working in the heart of midfield, McGregor has become a fans’ favourite and a key component of the team. His range of passing, technical ability and reading of the game make McGregor an asset in both attack and defence.
A successful loan spell at Notts County for the duration of the 2013/14 season was the platform McGregor needed to break through at Paradise. He made 41 appearances for the League One outfit and finished top scorer that season. His rise continued upon his return to Glasgow and the then 21-year-old made quite the impact on his Hoops debut with a winning goal in a 1-0 victory away to KR Rejkyavik in a Champions League qualifier.
Callum McGregor has become a fans’ favourite and a key component of the team.
He remained a regular in the first team throughout Ronny Deila’s time as manager but it was under Brendan Rodgers than McGregor made huge leaps forward and he became an instrumental figure throughout the Invincibles, Double, Treble and Quadruple Treble runs.
McGregor built on his form during the 2016/17 Invincible season with consistently excellent performances in the 2017/18 campaign where his 12 goals made him the only player to score in every competition for Celtic that season. And he set more records in 2018/19 season as Celtic clinched the Treble Treble. His value to the team was highlighted in the number of appearances he made that year. At the close of the 2018/19 campaign he had played more minutes of competitive football than any other player in world football.
Season 2020/21 has already seen him break the 300-appearance barrier as well as take him over the 50-goal mark for the Hoops.
