But McGregor was adamant the entire squad would celebrate together with no players left watching on from the sidelines.
Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel could also be seen motioning to the duo to get involved before McGregor stepped in.
On commentary, Rory Hamilton said: "Callum McGregor is insisting that everyone joins, it is the full squad effort - even those that were not utilised in the efforts this afternoon."
