Ange Postecoglou admits Callum McGregor is the 'epitome' of the professional footballer and challenged any manager to tell the Celtic captain he isn't playing.
The Hoops skipper was playing with his slippers on against a fledgeling Spanish side as Steve Clarke's men produced heroics at the national stadium to end a 39-year wait for a win over La Roja. But for McGregor focus now turns on another potential Treble as a Celtic player and his second league title as captain. Postecoglou admits the league leaders can take pride in the resilience of the midfielder.
McGregor has already notched up a mammoth 31 games for Celtic this season as he marked 50 appearances for the Tartan Army this past week. Postecoglou insists ever resting or offering the 29-year-old a break would do 'no good' because he is always geared for the top level of the game. He also believes McGregor's lung-busting injury time run that saw him leave Barcelona wonder-kid Gavi on his backside shows the unreal dedication he possesses.
