“Determination” – Celtic F.C. captain Callum McGregor reveals the hidden strategy use in winning Rangers and securing the top position in the league table

In the middle of the field, Callum McGregor was Celtic’s main player. He controlled the game well in the first half and set up Matt O’Riley’s first goal in the 35th minute.

The crowd was tense during the second 45 minutes, but McGregor stayed calm. He was even seen cheering on the fans at the end to help the team cross the finish line.

Fans will be happy to accept that injuries, shaky play, and getting used to having a new manager did make it harder for Celtic to hold on to the title this season. The club leader, on the other hand, is almost certain to win his third straight league title since taking over from Scott Brown.

This accomplishment shouldn’t be taken lightly, since he was made captain in the summer after Celtic ended 25 points behind Rangers in the legendary 2020–21 season.

Now, the most important thing is to make sure he can see that through. There will be plenty of time to think about it after everything is over.

Discusses what Celtic worked on before their win over Rangers

Celtic is very good at getting through tough spots when it matters most. This shows that this group of players really cares about each other.

McGregor said that his team has been “constantly” working on protecting as a unit in the penalty area after the game. Their work on the practice field paid off when they showed these traits in the last few minutes of the game, when the guests were putting pressure on them.

He told Celtic FC, “We work on defending as a group in the box all the time.” Because they protect as a team, Joe doesn’t have to make many saves.

“You have to be tough and determined.” Boys were making stops, tackles, and headers as a test at the end. All of that is part of being a good football team.

Rangers is known for sending a lot of crosses into the box, and it’s good to see that Celtic knew this and made sure they kept their focus when playing Philippe Clement’s team.

After all their hard work, the Bhoys can now enjoy the praise they deserve before getting ready for their trip to Rugby Park on Wednesday, where Kilmarnock will be waiting.

Celtic fans are still buzzing from their team’s 2-1 win over Rangers yesterday afternoon. They will have had a great weekend.

Prior to the game, many people thought that Brendan Rodgers’ team, which was mostly made up of people who had been on the course, would be strong enough to beat Philippe Clement’s.

In the end, they lived up to their promise, having 68% of the ball, 22 shots on goal compared to 8 for the visitors, and three “big chances” compared to 2 for Rangers. This was enough to win an important three points on the day [Fotmob].

Matt O’Riley set up Celtic’s first goal, a beautiful finish made possible by Callum McGregor’s turn and pass from wide. John Lundstram then scored an own goal, which made the score 1-0.

Rangers scored right away through Cyriel Dessers, and there was a lot of action before halftime that ended with Lundstram getting sent off for a terrible tackle on Alistair Johnston.

Even though the Bhoys had most of the control with ten men, there were a few tense times in the second half. But Celtic held strong in the end and earned three points, putting them just one point away from being crowned winners.

At the end of the game, Parkhead was filled with joy, and Rodgers’ team can’t wait for next week to finish the job in style.

What Callum McGregor thinks about how the Celtic team is feeling
After the game, it was clear that the Celtic fans weren’t the only ones happy. The players made the most of the chance to celebrate their win in front of a loud crowd.

After the game, McGregor talked about how the Hoops’ players feel. He said that his team will keep working hard in the last few league games before putting everything they have into the Scottish Cup final on May 25th.

According to STV News, he said, “To be honest, I can only speak for us.” What I can say is only about what’s in our changing room. Also, please understand that things will never be perfect.

“Of course, you can have bad days in these games because you’re playing two good teams, and you need the little things to go right for you as well. But I can only worry about what’s going on in our locker room and try to give the boys as much confidence and unity as I can, and I think we’ve played pretty well so far.”

“We know there’s another big one at the end of the season too.” I think today’s win, with six points, is a big one. It gives us some breathing room.

“We want to win our next two games so that we can have a good end to the season. We also know that the cup final is still to come.” It doesn’t matter to me if we win the next game. We all know that we need to do more work before the season ends.

“So we try to cross the finish line, but we keep going and trying to get better.”

Celtic has proven they are strong in the race for the title.
This season, Celtic has had some tough times, but they have been able to come back from behind to take the lead, which shows how well Rodgers is leading his team and how well they can react.

Although the club has had a lot of success over the last few years, this season has shown them that it’s not always easy to get what they want.

Some changes will be made to the playing group in the summer, but fans will remember days like yesterday for a long time, and they should.
