    “We held on to him and it’s important we do the right thing. The principled thing is to give him a new deal, he deserves it.”

    Celtic told former boss Rodgers that McGregor wasn’t for sale at any price after an informal enquiry but it didn’t stop a further call near the end of the window.

    Lennon said: “There was no confirmation of a bid but there was definite interest.

    “In the talks we’ve had so far, Callum is receptive to staying. I don’t know how long he has left but we’re hoping to give him an improved contract anyway.”

    Call me cynical but that sounds very much like stay until the summer and we'll let you go for a set fee

    Badly needs a rest at the moment and I mean a proper rest not playing for an hour then coming off, we're doing the same to him that we done to Tierney

    Not clearing the first man at set pieces when we are desperate for something is pathetic.

    Every professional I've ever heard will say that when you're in a winning team you don't get fatigued, you can play every week. I think there's a case to be made for him maybe getting a little complacent, guaranteed starter every week in his own eyes. I would drop him, not for a rest but to give him a wee fright.

    His delivery from set pieces is ridiculously *, shouldn't ever be taking them whether it be corners or free kicks.

    Lenny’s comments that he’s too good to rest tell you he knows he needs one and tbh I don’t agree with that despite how important he is to us.

    It’ll be to the benefit of him and Celtic if he can mentally and physically switch off for a couple weeks.

    They're that bad that Armstrong's now seem like they were world class..

    Elyounoussi took one and was instantly better as he beat the first man..

    Ahhh, sounds like a pearler of a Neil Lennon in talkin * soundbite.

    McGregor has been off the boil for a while now, 100% needs dropped.

    Plus, saying McGregor is "too good to rest" doesn't really say much for the midfielders chomping at the bit for first team action.
