CELTIC midfielder Callum McGregor is world football’s marathon man – and that is OFFICIAL!

The inexhaustible McGregor, 26, has made 42 appearances, including six for his country, for a total of 3,714 minutes of action.

He has been a key performer for both Brendan Rodgers and Neil Lennon in the Hoops’ unprecedented treble treble campaigns and won his TENTH successive domestic honour last month when a goal from Christopher Jullien gave the Parkhead side a Betfred League Cup trophy at Hampden.

PEEK-A-BOO…Scott Brown with the newly-won League Cup last month.

Kristoffer Ajer, who also played in the victory over Steven Gerrard’s Ibrox outfit, is second in the chart after playing 40 games – four for Norway – and clocking up 3,462 minutes.
