Callum McGregor has issued a rallying cry for the Celtic players and supporters for the business end of the season that starts today at Ibrox…
The Celtic captain has already done the same thing in the dressing room as he fires up the Celtic players ahead of the season run in starting with crucial Glasgow Derby in the Scottish Premiership this lunchtime.
“Everyone is trying to doubt us,” Calmac said, as reported by Scottish Sun. “Everybody’s trying to see if they can break you. We have to stand together and try to fight against that. And if we can come out on the right end of it, then what a message that shows everyone.
“That’s my message to everyone. It’s certainly my message to the players. We can come out the back end of this having still been successful even though everyone else is trying to break you.
“It’s almost like a siege mentality for us,” Callum McGregor
“It’s almost like a siege mentality for us. There’s been a lot of conversation and chat about it. Not so much with the players, but you feel it in your everyday life. You’re not silly. You understand where the club is and the context and everything that’s happening.
“We as professionals have this burning desire to win. It’s trying to channel that like a siege mentality. If you think we can’t do it, then we’ll show you we can.
“That’s what I’m saying. As a club, we have to try to rally this next 12 or 14 games, whatever it ends up being. Can we be the guys standing with the trophies at the end of the season and saying, ‘Well, you tried to break us and you couldn’t?’.
“That’s where we are as players and staff. That’s the challenge that the players are well aware of. And that’s where we want to be.”
