Callum is the kind of player who just gets on with his duties on the field and you rarely notice him, in a very good way. Great signing.

The 26-year-old midfielder came through the youth ranks at the club.
He had a successful season on loan with English side, Notts County, and after that made a goalscoring debut for the Hoops at the age of 21.
However, it is under Brendan Rodgers that he took his game to a whole new level. He has developed into a top-class midfielder and played an integral part in Celtic’s historic Treble Treble triumph.
McGregor has made 248 appearances, scoring 55 goals, winning five league titles, three Scottish Cups and three League Cups. Last season, he won the club’s Player of the Year Award.
The 17-times capped Scotland international is seen by many as the future skipper for Celtic, and recently Neil Lennon has hinted that McGregor could take the captain’s armband from Scott Brown in the future.
