Some Celtic fans have been raving at Callum McGregor after he was compared to John McGinn, who has recently been linked with a £30m move to Newcastle United.
The Daily Record recently relayed some information regarding the Daily Star’s report of Newcastle’s supposed interest in McGinn.
Hoops-related page St. Anthony retweeted this and compared the Villa midfielder to McGregor. The caption read: “Makes you think what Callum McGregor would now be worth.”
On reading this post, many Hoops fans were raving about McGregor. Some made their admiration for the midfielder clear.
Double that at least. The guy would easily fit into the barca team. And improve it.

Do you see McGregor as a future Celtic captain?
Of course!
Not for me
McGregor is a joy to watch. The bhoy has everything..I was never to unhappy that we didnt get mcginn good player but would never have played for us.

We’ll never get the true values for players

No sum that we could replace him with (even with 3 players)…let’s hope we keep and continue to enjoy him ?

One fan though, felt that McGregor isn’t worth McGinn’s potential transfer fee.
Don’t think he’s worth that much

This season, McGregor has been a regular in midfield for the Hoops by making 50 appearances in all competitions already, contributing to 23 goals (via Transfermarkt).
In the Premiership, the Scottish midfielder has contributed to 16 goals in 30 appearances (via Transfermarkt).
What do we think?
McGregor’s numbers show how important a player he is at Parkhead. Considering he’s played the most number of minutes this season (via Transfermarkt), one can see why fans are full of praise for him.
