Callum McGregor might not be the same type of captain as Scott Brown - but the current skipper has the identical desire and leadership abilities.
And he reckons he's got time to match and overtake his pal’s outstanding Celtic appearance record. McGregor made it 400 games in the Hoops as he led the troops to a 2-0 win over Dundee United. Brown, who handed the armband to his mate when he retired, set a mark of 620 during his trophy-laden term at Parkhead.
McGregor knows it’s a long way off, but smiled as he insisted that he can get there. He said: "That just shows you again how good he was for this club. A real iconic figure who looked after himself and was an ever present for the club. That’s massive numbers and it’s a huge testament to him. But I’ve still got enough time. Hopefully if I stay fit and keep playing well and being hungry to have success and do all the right things, who knows where I will be in five or six years time. You just look forward to the next game.
