Celtic captain Callum McGregor believes his team has the advantage in the Scottish Premiership title race, while also downplaying speculation about his potential departure from the club. The Hoops are currently in third place, trailing leaders Hearts by three points and two points behind their Old Firm rivals Rangers. With 13 out of the last 14 league titles under their belt, Celtic are set to begin their post-split fixtures at home against Falkirk on Saturday, live on Sky Sports.
McGregor expressed confidence in his team's ability to win, citing their resilience and determination. "I think it's my responsibility to believe we have the edge," he stated. "I see the team every day, I see how we train, and I've seen what we've overcome this season, including a couple of managerial changes and reaching two cup finals." McGregor also highlighted the team's ability to produce big results under pressure and their mentality to keep pushing forward. He emphasized that the team's resilience and character have been evident throughout the season.
McGregor, who has won 24 major trophies with Celtic, was previously linked with a move to Saudi club Al Qadsiah to join his former boss Brendan Rodgers. However, the 32-year-old reaffirmed his commitment to the Parkhead side, stating that he wants to continue winning silverware with the club. "I've always said I want to be at this club.
It's in my DNA, and I want to ensure the club continues to push for success," he said. When asked if he wants to end his career at Celtic, McGregor replied, "Yes, as long as the club thinks I have something to offer and wants to keep pushing for success."
