Calum McGregor, the leader of Celtic, is ready to fight Rangers this Saturday as his team tries to win a domestic double.
This season in the Scottish Premiership, the 30-year-old has led the charge, bringing the team together in dangerous situations to deliver when it counted most.
McGregor has also played in all four Glasgow Derby games this season, helping his team win three times and tie once at Ibrox in April. He will be eager to beat Celtic’s bitter enemies at Hampden this weekend.
In an interesting turn of events, the captain told the press meeting before the game that Brendan Rodgers has set up a club-wide procedure that all players must follow in order to stay calm under pressure.
Tomorrow, his calmness at the national stadium will be very important, and he has now given us more information about what he thinks Celtic need to do to beat Rangers.
A rousing cry from Callum McGregor before the Rangers game
When asked how the Hoops might prepare for the Scottish Cup final, McGregor told Celtic FC: “When these things happen, I just try to focus on the event, the game, and what you need to do to make it a success. I also try to focus on the team, because that’s what will get us over the finish line.”
The team’s selflessness, willingness to work together, and willingness to run and do all the unpleasant parts of the game should get us over the finish line this Saturday, giving us another good memory to hold on to.
McGregor is trying to win his 22nd trophy as a Celtic player at Hampden. Success doesn’t happen by accident, so he must be doing something right with his method.
There’s no question that Rangers will want to get in his way, but Celtic has shown that they can handle big games under Rodgers’ leadership, and the Irishman has only lost one of 17 games against Celtic’s city rivals.
At Hampden, everything is ready for an exciting event. Hopefully, a sea of green and white can cheer their team on to win another trophy.
