Callum McGregor offers honest Celtic assessment on Rangers showing as he makes 'we’ll take it' confession

There wasn’t much of the usual swashbuckling style but Callum McGregor reckons getting out of Dodge with a point when under par is the mark of champions.

The skipper didn’t try to sugarcoat Celtic ’s display at Ibrox. He confessed his side were not quite at their best and yet left Govan with their nine-point gulf at the top intact. And sometimes that is all that matters over the course of the season. McGregor said: “That’s the positive. For any team, when they don’t play well, to not get beat that is a positive, especially when you come here. The crowd get involved, they make it difficult, so of course it’s a good result if you don’t lose.

“It keeps us where we were coming into the game and we obviously know the significance of that. Ideally we wanted to win but it’s important in football that when you aren’t playing well you don’t lose. It’s a big result. We know we weren’t at our best but we’ll take it.
