    Level headed interview reading it but rare thing for him to give a headline of insisting not a nearly team. Reasonable as what he saying actually is, because that’s a bite you in the * headline maker.

    He was terrific, especially in that first half where he absolutely dominated.

    As predicted, back to bossing it. Hopefully never has a dip in form ever again so he can keep his status as a good player :fear:

    His wee forward bursts were excellent. More like him.

    Superb first half tonight, a few moments in 2nd but like many others, lost his way a bit.
    Was very positive overall, great to see.

    Really good performance from him tonight, although we’re still way to easy to play through in the middle of the park.

    Much better again from him tonight. First half especially - he was positive and driving the team forward.

    Looked sharp.

    Had a great game..so composed and never flustered...his burst forward are brilliant and if we had a top top 6 and release him he'd score double figures easy.

    Great first half, faded a bit like the whole team did in the second I thought, but was a real positive driving force which I'm often critical of him for not doing enough of. Deserved to be on the winning team tonight.

    Much better tonight. I'd rest him at the weekend though with a view to the Villa game. On paper the game may not mean much but we don't want to risk a demoralising defeat before going into the playoffs and to avoid that our midfield needs to be on point.

    He was class in the that first half, never lost the ball once and was covering the whole pitch. Much more like himself and that always drives the team on.

    I thought he was brilliant last night. Especially in the 1st half.

    One man who has played a pivotal role in the European campaign is, of course, Callum McGregor, and the Celtic captain produced another outstanding performance in midweek on what was his 101st European appearance for the Hoops.

    But it wasn’t something which surprised his manager, who has worked with the player over many years now

    “I thought Callum was absolutely brilliant in the game,” said Brendan Rodgers.

    “He’s such an outstanding player, he’s been here for such a long time and how he leads this team with his commitment and his example is absolutely second to none.

    'I’ve managed him in so many games over my two spells and the consistency and the level he produces is absolutely incredible.'

    “Now, from time to time he might not be nine out of 10. He’ll maybe only be seven sometimes but that’s just the level that he’s set.

    “How he drives this team – and I’ve said before that he’s the real heartbeat of this team and the level of his game that he’s shown, like the other night, like against Leipzig, or away against Atalanta, he’s still a player for the very highest level.

    “You’ll always have your critics, manager or player, whether it’s deserved or not, but what I do know is that the example he sets both on and off the pitch here, I’m very lucky to have him as my captain.”

    And the manager also spoke about how much he is loving life at Celtic, having won the league and Scottish Cup double last season, and added the League Cup to that trophy haul in this campaign.

    His team currently enjoy a 13-point lead at the top of the Premiership table, while they have progressed to the next stage of the Champions League with a game to spare, having won three, drawn three and lost just one match in the league phase.

    “To be in management you need to have a real commitment and passion for the job, and you have to enjoy it,” the Celtic boss explained.

    “I’ve been very lucky in my life to work with brilliant players but, more importantly, brilliant people, and I’m here that a club that’s really authentic with people who work hard and give you absolutely everything.

    “And when I did come back, I had a point to prove and had to shake off some things that, for some people, will never be able to shake off, but for me, the most important thing was Celtic and giving them the best that I possibly could, and I absolutely love it.
