Callum McGregor admitted that the Celtic squad is desperate to get started again and play in-front of a packed house at Celtic Park tomorrow afternoon after the Celtic captain performs the honour and privilege of unfurling Celtic’s 52nd Champions of Scotland flag.
“We just want the games to get started now. We’ve had a few weeks of preparation in terms of pre-season training, fitness work and tactical work and everything else so you are getting to that point now where you just want the games to start,” the Celtic captain said at yesterday’s Media Conference.
Last year was the only occasion as a Celtic player when McGregor wasn’t involved with the reigning Champions – the Covid season kicked up shocks and surprises all over world football and theRangersbenefited by winning their one and only title.
McGregor played a huge role in making sure that was a one season wonder and the Scottish Champions flag will be flying over Paradise one again from tomorrow afternoon. So in terms of going into a new season as Champions, that’s nothing new as far as Callum McGregor is concerned.
“We have to approach it the same way that we have every other season,” he said. “We understand everyone starts on zero points and if you want to win the league then you have to be really consistent in the way you train and perform every single day.
“This is no different for us, the manager puts a lot of demand on the players every single day in terms of the way we train and then we get the opportunity in the games we have to go and perform and try to get results. We’ll be approaching the season on a game-by-game basis.”
