New contract for crucial Callum McGregor

232

Callum McGregor (25) burst into our consciousness as a winger under Ronny Deila but has found his true calling as a deep-lying playmaker this season.  From there he establishes the pace at which Celtic play.

I previously heard Kieran Tierney say he enjoys full back better than the left-mid position he played as a youth, as he can see the game develop more from there.  The same is true of Callum, who is crucial to Celtic’s performances.

The key aspect he has is the ability to send and receive passes drilled to feet with pace.  Success in the modern game is increasingly about how fast a pass you can reliably control or make.   That close, intimate, control, Callum has permits him to play at the very highest level.

I am delighted he has signed a new contract, securing him until 2023.

Having secured the result at halftime, Celtic strolled the second half, no doubt with an eye on conserving energy in this most draining of months.  Injury to Odsonne Edouard was as predictable as it is regretful, but what a performance from Mikey Johnston.  I am sure he will not become a striker, but the lad has talent.  Delighted also for Anthony Ralston, who marked his return to the team with the opening goal.

  1. SOUTH TUNIS,

     

     

    Was that a winter of deep freeze when Celtic and other clubs covered most of the pitch in hay before clearing for the game?

    hi bhoys about this time 50 years ago. my aunt bella would make a big pot of tattie soup as she called it and everyone no matter what creed or colour was invited, remember a big golden plate of soup and a bilsland or a Medora square slice of bread dipping into the soup, seventh heaven so tonight I bought a can of baxters lentil soup because I know she used lentils in the soup, and put a few potatoes in as well but it does not taste the same ah memories.hh.

    of green pea soup with mint which was in vogue at the time and

     

    couldn’t get him to eat it, but after making white lines across it with

     

    almond slices and calling it hoopy soup he scoffed the lot lol.
