Speaking earlier today, also to the Celtic website, McGregor spoke about the impact that Neil Lennon has made since returning to the club to replace Brendan Rodgers.
“The gaffer’s been amazing since he’s come in,” the 26 year old Celtic Star said. “He’s taken the club on from where Brendan left it and we’re going from strength to strength, getting even better, which you can see from the performances and the number of goals we’re scoring in every game.
“We’re top of our Europa League group and top of the table here, and into a cup final again, so it’s been a seamless transition. The relationship I’ve got with the manager is a top, top level and he’s been brilliant for me.”
