Callum McGregor fired a chilling warning to the rest of Scottish football by insisting Ange Postecoglou’s all-conquering Celtic side is just going to keep getting better.
The Parkhead captain led his team to the Scottish Cup semi final with a superb 3-0 win at Tynecastle, clocking up their 27th undefeated match in a row. And with a nine-point lead in the league and the Viaplay Cup in the cabinet, Celtic are potentially just 180 Hampden minutes away from the Treble.
That’s not a subject McGregor will be drawn on, but he does believe his side has not hit their optimum level. He said: “Our football is always evolving, the players are understanding more and more about how to play the system and you can see them working it out even every day in training. We find different solutions to what we face in a game. You see them now starting to think ‘right, where do I need to be’ in relation to where the ball is.
“That’s the way we play football, you need everybody moving in relation and keeping the distances good to connect the game. As soon as you do that you have three guys at the top of the pitch with quality, pace, and who score goals.
“You can definitely see what we are trying to do coming together but by no means are we the finished article. We keep going and we always try and take the small details to learn and push ourselves as a group.
“We believe that if we play our best game every time we go on the pitch we will be very difficult to stop. The reason this group has got so much better so quickly is because we work so hard every day in training.
“We listen to the manager, we listen to each other, and we just keep trying to improve individually and as a group. And when we get the chance to play games we just try to come together and show all that and attack each game as it comes.”
