Callum McGregor, the Celtic midfielder, has made a triumphant return from injury and is expected to be a key player for Brendan Rodgers as the season comes to a close. Despite missing four games and Scotland’s international matches in March, McGregor has made 38 appearances this season, contributing two goals and five assists.
Rodgers has carefully managed McGregor’s playing time, subbing him on against Rangers and St Mirren as he eases back into action. With important post-split fixtures ahead, including a Scottish Cup semi-final against Aberdeen, McGregor’s leadership qualities will be crucial for Celtic’s pursuit of a league and cup double.
While Tomoki Iwata and Paulo Bernardo have held their own in midfield during McGregor’s absence, McGregor remains the linchpin of the team. Journalist Mark Guidi believes McGregor may be ready to start this weekend, but caution is important to ensure his fitness for the crucial games ahead.
As Celtic aim to secure the Scottish Premiership title, McGregor’s presence will be vital. It’s essential to handle his return with care to maximize his impact in the final stretch of the season.
