McGregor: Relentless Mentality Fuels Celtic's Late Wins
15 Feb
Summary
- Celtic's late goals stem from a relentless mentality and never-say-die attitude.
- New signings are making a significant impact due to established team cohesion.
- Callum McGregor praised interim manager Martin O'Neill's man-management skills.
Celtic captain Callum McGregor emphasized the team's consistent training intensity and a shared "never-say-die" mentality as the reasons for their numerous late-game goals. He noted that this mindset is crucial for winning tight matches and highlighted the positive impact of new signings, who are integrating well into the established team system.
McGregor also expressed strong admiration for interim manager Martin O'Neill, describing him as honest and possessing a deep understanding of Celtic's ethos. O'Neill's coaching staff, including Shaun Maloney and Mark Fotheringham, manage training, while O'Neill himself provides key guidance and motivation, significantly boosting the team's performance.
Looking ahead to the match against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park on February 15, 2026, McGregor stressed the importance of maintaining momentum through continued wins. He anticipates a tough contest on the artificial pitch but believes the team will be prepared to impose their style of play.
