Is McGregor a future Celtic captain?
Absolutely!
Not for me
What a player he has been for us over the last few seasons.

Considering he’s now 27 and doesnt get injured im shocked hes not had more appearances. The bionic man.
Best player the club has produced since Paul McStay.

Best midfielder in Scotland by a good bit as well. Can do everything. Not it appreciated half as much as he should be.

As per the tweet, since making his debut for the Hoops back in the 2014/15 campaign, McGregor has made as many as 275 appearances in all competitions for the Hoops. He has also racked up a total of 49 goals and has also won as many as six league titles with the Bhoys.

Happy Birthday to the most underrated Celtic in ages. We’d be lost without his amazing right now. A legend in the making. Enjoy your day, you’ve earned it. ? #HH

A class act. The antithesis of a Rangers player. Never shoots his mouth off, does it on the park with frightening regularity, a team player & most importantly, a winner.

The 2019/20 season saw McGregor play regularly in midfield for the Hoops. In the Premiership, he made 30 appearances, scoring nine goals and picking up seven assists. In all competitions, he directly contributed to 23 goals in 50 games (via Transfermarkt).
He also played the highest number of minutes for the Hoops. This shows how reliable he is and why he is such an important player for the team. As a result, the praise from the fans seems perfectly justified.
