Former top-flight standout Gordon Dalziel has sounded the alarm bells for Celtic, highlighting captain Callum McGregor’s worrying dip in form. McGregor, long hailed as a linchpin in Brendan Rodgers’ lineup, has seen his influence dwindle this season, raising eyebrows among fans and pundits alike.
Since assuming the captain’s armband following Scott Brown’s departure, McGregor has been a cornerstone of Celtic’s domestic dominance. However, Dalziel’s remarks underscore a noticeable decline in McGregor’s on-field impact, leaving the team’s morale hanging in the balance.
In a candid assessment on Clyde 1’s Superscoreboard, Dalziel emphasized McGregor’s pivotal role as the team’s leader, lamenting the lack of contribution from a player with a decorated Celtic pedigree. With McGregor’s form faltering, Dalziel’s concerns echo the sentiments of fans who rely on the captain to inspire the squad.
“The captain sets the tone,” Dalziel emphasized. “He’s the beacon of leadership, the voice in the huddle, the embodiment of Celtic’s winning spirit. But lately, McGregor’s presence on the pitch has been underwhelming.”
While McGregor’s status as a club stalwart may shield him from immediate benching, the pressure is on for the midfielder to rediscover his form and reignite Celtic’s charge for silverware. As the scrutiny intensifies, McGregor faces a pivotal moment in his Celtic career, with the hopes of the club resting heavily on his shoulders.
