“He’s irreplaceable.” Gordon Strachan says Celtic should be seriously concerned if the 30-year-old gets injured.

This season’s title race is shaping up to be a tense one for Celtic fans.
With Celtic still leading the Scottish Premiership, albeit on goals scored, there is no room for error as Brendan Rodgers leads his team into the final 13 games of the season.
With a Glasgow Derby to negotiate before the split, Gordon Strachan has stated that Rodgers must keep one player fit and ready for that game.

Strachan stated [Irish Daily Star print edition page 60] “If I were the manager, I would take Callum McGregor home every night after training and sit him next to me.
“I’d keep him nourished, hydrated, and wrapped in cotton wool. I’d tuck him into bed at night because he’s such an important person.”
“Celtic can handle the absence of every single player except one: Callum McGregor. He is irreplaceable.
“If he was injured, I would be concerned. If I were a Celtics fan, I’d be concerned about keeping McGregor fit for the rest of the season.”

Callum McGregor is so crucial for Celtic.
It goes without saying that the Celtic captain has been instrumental in our success not only during his time as captain, but throughout his career.
The 30-year-old midfielder is one of the most decorated players in club history, having won eight league titles, five Scottish Cups, and seven League Cups.
However, since McGregor became captain, the legendary Celtic player has come into his own.

Dragging Celtic from the depths of despair after the COVID season, McGregor led the club to a domestic double in his first season as captain, followed by a record-breaking eighth domestic treble last season.
Now that there is a real title fight on his hands, Rodgers must do everything he can to keep his captain fit and healthy for the remaining games in the stretch.
