Callum McGregor fully deserving of his first ever Player of the Month accolade…it’s long overdue, is it not?
Callum McGregor was yesterday named Scottish Premiership player of the month for August and deservedly so. The Celtic captain has been absolutely terrific since the start of the season and has already beat his goal tally of last term with three superbly taken goals.
It’s not just his goals, but his all round game that’s seen to have went up a notch. He really is a true leader and Brendan has got so much more out of him, similar to the way he rejuvenated Scott Browns career at the same age when he was appointed Celtic manager first time around.
Callum has also benefited from being free of the added burden that is international football since his decision to retire just shortly after Euro2024.
That has proved to be a wise decision by Callum and it’s a decision that will benefit both the player and club. If Callum keeps putting in those sort of displays it won’t be his last personal accolade this season. He could well end up as the player of the year, such is his good form.
The respect and influence Calmac has across the Celtic squad is quite incredible and seems to be increasing with each season. Callum could have four or five years left leading the Hoops, Enjoy him while we can folks, he’s rather special.

With extra competition in the middle of the park it’s been discussed who drops
Out for who. One man who we can’t afford to drop imo is Reo Hatate. He gives us an extra dimension in the middle of the park and his creativity is much needed against the ‘park the bus’ SPFL sides. pic.twitter.com/qr6Ze3NrlP— JustAnOrdinaryBhoy (@ordinarybhoy) September 14, 2024
