Celtic wasted no time in firing back at former Rangers manager Graeme Souness after his controversial comments about Callum McGregor at Euro 2024. Following Scotland’s disappointing defeat to Germany, Souness called out McGregor for his performance, sparking outrage among Celtic fans and former player Peter Grant, who jumped to McGregor’s defense.
McGregor himself did not stay silent in the face of criticism, using Souness’ words as motivation to prove himself on the field. When Souness tried to backpedal by claiming he had simply forgotten McGregor’s name, Celtic’s response was quick and to the point as they took a swipe at the Euro 2024 pundit on social media.
As McGregor continued to lead the Scottish national team in the tournament, his performance in the 1-1 draw against Switzerland proved his determination to silence his critics. With the final group game against Hungary on the horizon, there is optimism that McGregor, along with fellow Celtic players like Anthony Ralston, Greg Taylor, and James Forrest, could help Scotland reach the knockout stages of the competition.
With all four players boasting a historic treble-winning season at club level, the opportunity to make a mark on the international stage and become legends in the eyes of the Tartan Army is within their grasp. As they aim to steer Scotland into the next phase of Euro 2024, the pressure is on for McGregor and his Celtic teammates to write a new chapter in Scottish football history.
