Callum McGregor admits the scenes at Hampden and Celtic Park will 'stay with him forever' as he wished Ange Postecoglou all the best at Tottenham.
The former Hoops gaffer has put pen to paper on a four-year deal in North London as he takes on his next big challenge in the English Premier League. He signed off from the Scottish champions on the ultimate high as victory over Inverness last weekend delivered both the Scottish Cup and a Treble success. That meant he lifted five out of a possible six trophies over two seasons with Champions League football returning to the east end.
McGregor has hailed that tremendous achievement for the 57-year-old as he hailed his 'real focus and relentlessness' in order for Celtic to be a success. Now the challenge is to keep pushing with the team taking a well earned rest before returning and getting right behind the new boss to do it all again. The big Euro nights are on the way back and McGregor can't wait to test himself once again at the highest level in club football.

He said: "It has been great to work with the gaffer over the past two seasons and to achieve the success that we have, especially achieving yet another treble at the weekend.
"In fact, to win five out of six domestic trophies is a tremendous achievement and that is testament to the real focus and relentlessness of the manager, the players and our whole backroom team who have all worked so hard.
"I thank all our supporters again for what they have given us this year. The scenes at Hampden and Celtic Park, when we celebrated our success together, will stay with me forever.
"We have delivered something very special to our fans and done it, under the manager's direction, by playing an exciting and attractive brand of football. As all the players do, I wish Ange great success in his next challenge.
"We move on ourselves to our own challenges too. Our performances this season mean we will take our place deservedly in the Champions League and we can't wait for it.
"It will be brilliant to have these great nights back at Celtic Park and I am sure our fans are looking forward to experiencing this again, as well as watching us striving to defend all our domestic titles.
"The players will enjoy a well-earned break and when we return we will get right behind the new manager, we will be united and, as ever, will do all we can to bring our fans continued success."
