Callum McGregor signs new Celtic contract as skipper pens five-year extension

Callum McGregor has signed a new five-year deal keeping him at Celtic until 2028.

He comes as the third new deal since Brendan Rodgers' arrival with Kyogo and Daizen Maeda penning extensions to kick off the post Ange era in style. Kyogo's initial contract ran until 2025, though he has signed a new two-year extension in a bid to keep the good times rolling under Rodgers and co after winning Celtic's Player of the Year award last season with 34 goals in 50 games. Maeda then signed a new contract on Thursday afternoon which will also see him remain in Glasgow until 2027 at the latest, adding double trouble to the Japanese duo as they keep the mainstay of one of the best attacking teams across the European top divisions.

And now fans have been treated to even better news with McGregor committing himself to the Celtic cause. He said: It’s amazing to extend my stay at the club. As I’ve touched on before, this club means so much to me and the success that we’ve had over the past few seasons has cemented that. I feel like the club’s in a great place to move forward as well, and when they came and asked me to extend my stay I was absolutely delighted.

"Brendan’s a top manager and I had the pleasure of working with him before and seeing what he did with that group of players, especially a young, hungry group similar to ourselves, and the way he progressed us and took us on."
