It’s been a different kind of start to the season for Callum McGregor. The Celtic captain is used to running around Europe at this time of year.
But this time the more relaxed schedule has allowed the Hoops playmaker to take a casual stroll down memory lane. McGregor has taken advantage of Celts bypassing the Champions League qualifiers for once – and the rare experience of playing just one match a week – by adding the final touches to his autobiography due to come out in October.
The book will chart his rise from chasing the dream as a kid in Glasgow’s East End to leading Celtic to the title as captain under Ange Postecoglou. There’s plenty to pack in between and while McGregor has enjoyed the chance to reminisce, he admits going over old glories has only inspired him to pen the next chapters in his Parkhead success story.
