NAILING down a regular starting spot in Celtic’s midfield is easier said than done, as Peter Grant knows only too well.
The former Scotland internationalist, who progressed through the Glasgow club’s youth ranks before breaking into the senior side in the mid-80s, had to vie with the likes of Paul McStay and Murdo MacLeod for a place in the first team when making the step up to the men’s game.
The 57-year-old had to fight for everything he earned and believes the fierce competition for minutes in the middle of the park forced him to raise his game – and he believes current manager Ange Postecoglou is benefitting from a similar process.
