CELTIC have been very quiet since the game on Saturday against Hibernian but they broke cover tonight and rolled out Callum McGregor on social media ahead of the game against Sparta Prague on Thursday.
The interview was conducted by in-house Celtic staffer and Celtic View Editor, Paul Cuddihy who was trying to allay Celtic fans fears about the season so far.
Callum was asked about the current form of the team and how the players are coping with their two wins in eight. Callum was measured and explained the players are all pulling in the one directions along with the manager and they’re desperate to turn things around.
“No season is ever perfect or ever the same and I always touch on this when we have sticky situations throughout the campaign, that it’s how you react to the adversity in terms of bad results and bad performances.” Callum told CelticTV.
“It’s how you react to that which is going to win you the league, and that’s what we have to do. We have to galvanise the group.
“The message from the club, from top to bottom, is that everyone’s together.
“We have to work extra hard on the training field, extra hard in the gym, in the games to do that extra yard for each other and, like I said, I have no doubt that we have enough quality to be successful.
“That’s what we want to do, and for us now, we have to react and react in a positive way, and the only way that we’re going to have success again this season is if we react positively.
“We’ve got some home games coming up, so we have to make the most of them as well. Over the past few seasons, the home games are vital to the success, so we have to put a run together in this little period in December.
“And I think the good thing is that we won’t really have too much more disruption now up until March, so we’ve got a real run of three to four months with everyone training together, everyone playing together and, now we have to go foot to the floor and show that ruthless mentality that we have shown.”
Celtic have a run of games now with no margin for error. Redeeming themselves in the Europa League while fighting out two cup competitions and the league is not going to be easy. The players need to start performing and the manager needs to get the best out of them.
If they fall further behind in the league, there’s no way Neil Lennon will be able to withstand the heat he will be getting from the Celtic support.
The club is behind the manager for now and he goes into Thursday’s game with a point to prove.
So according to mcgregor, whose own performances have been rubbish pass back and sideways, its just a blip, pathetic champions league qualifiers, abysmal performance against sevco, humiliation at home in europa league but don’t worry it’s only a blip.
