Callum McGregor

We can't really play it unless we did a weird 3-4-3 but he would excel in a diamond formation..

Broony/Mulumbu
Ntcham McGregor
Rogic

Ajer
Boyata
Benkovic

Mulumbu
Ntcham
McGregor
Rogic

Forrest
Griff
Edouard

Something like that whenever KT needs a breather..

Definitely such a different player when he has space. Usually finds most of it his self anyway..

 

Aye I don't rate it all. They're too similar for a start

 

id go for that yes but he needs to toughen up a bit

 

I was going to post just before their first goal that he really impressed me today, then hibs robbed him of the ball and scored, that being said, he then went on to assist Edouard. I think overall he showed how good he is, taking the ball in tight situations, crisp passing, even putting in a good few tackles. He's a cracking wee player

 

Lovely wee ball for Big Eddys 2nd. One of many on form today, joy to watch when we play like this.

 

So under appretiated, he is so versatile.

 

BRENDAN Rodgers praised "tactically brilliant" Callum McGregor after the Celtic midfielder shifted around the Hoops system seamlessly in the 4-2 win over Hibernian at Parkhead on Saturday.

The 25-year-old Scotland international was at his versatile best as the home side first reshuffled in the 21st minute when skipper Scott Brown went off injured to be replaced by winger Scott Sinclair.

Midfielders Tom Rogic and Olivier Ntcham both scored in the opening 45 minutes and French striker Odsonne Edouard grabbed a double after the break as Neil Lennon's Hibs twice reduced the deficit with goals from Florian Kamberi and Martin Boyle.


The impressive win took Celtic into second place in the Ladbrokes Premiership ahead of the Europa League clash with RB Leipzig in Germany on Thursday night, with Brown a doubt along with striker Leigh Griffiths who missed the game through illness.

Rodgers, however, waxed lyrical about another of his key players.

He said: "There is only one problem, when you move Callum McGregor you want Callum McGregor to be in the other position.

"He is absolutely tactically brilliant.


He’s played three positions. He played wide in a 4-3-3, he played as a holding player in the bottom of the diamond and then in the left side of a diamond.

"He is just tactically brilliant. His view of the game is so good, his brain is of a really top level performer.

"Tactically he is just a special player to work with and he has this unique quality for here in Scotland, that he keeps the ball which at the top level you have to do.

"He is such a top-class player."

 

I love Callum McGregor.

 

Not only is he a good player.


He’s also got the best Gifs

 

What a tune

 

Honesty is the best policy,so they say

 

Little tiny flashes that he obviously isn't a Brown like deep laying midfield player. But overall he's taken on the role so well as of late you have to give him credit.

The promise shown so far is that he could easily adapt to the role with more game time there and any team that has McGregor and Rogic together but not stepping on each others toes is only a good thing.

 

He is great at getting into goalscoring positions, one of our best, don't like him in a more defensive role as was proved in their 1st goal, up the field is his best position.

Still think he's good when we are firing on all cylinders but less effective when we're not.

 

Iniesta was a poor man's Callum McGregor

 

Manages to be both understatedly brilliant and breathtakingly good. Absolute diamond.
