The Champions League has been a learning curve for Celtic this season. When we qualified by winning the league, it brought back the excitement of being in the big time.
The Celtic captain told CeltsAreHere back in the summer, if he was to cherry pick any team to play against in the competition, it would be Real Madrid and the specific away fixture.
The idea of leading out Celtic as captain in the Bernabeu was something Callum was very keen to experience.
McGregor has been robbed of that moment due to injury. The midfielder isn’t expected back until after the World Cup.
While there’s nothing to play for but pride and a potential UEFA match bonus, we know Ange will be telling the players to go out and give it everything against the European champions.
Callum will have to watch on from the sidelines, but it’ll hopefully motivate the Celtic captain that little bit more to make sure the bhoys get back into the Champions League next season.
Cameron Carter-Vickers will have the honour of leading the bhoys out in Spain. The Celtic fans are expected to travel in their numbers for the game.
