CAL’S GONNA PRIZE TO THE CHALLENGE

- BY CRAIG SWAN

GLORY hunter Callum McGregor insists he’ll never get bored of winning with Celtic.

And the Parkhead skipper admits he’s already raring to get back to leading Ange Postecoglo­u’s squad again as they chase more prizes.

McGregor has won 16 major honours after adding a Premiershi­p and Premier Sports Cup to his CV during year one of his captaincy.

He said: “You never get bored of winning.

“When you’re at a club like this, you have to be like that every year and that’s the type of personalit­y I am.

“I always want more, I always want to be better as a person and as a football player and try to improve all the time.

“That’s what keeps you hungry. In football, if you lose that hunger you may as well not play.

“When you get used to winning, it just becomes a habit and when it gets taken away from you it hurts even more.

“That’s the time when you’ve got to show your personalit­y, what you’re about, show what you’ve got inside you and come back fighting.

“The great thing about it is it seems like this group of players are just getting started and there’s more to come.

“To feel success for the first time, I think it brings you closer as people and as a group.

“We’re all working here for the same cause, which is the football club.

“Long after we’re gone, the club will still be here and it’s important we enjoy the moment.

“I think the young guys when they win their first trophy, they just think it’s natural.

“You look at guys like Liel Abada in his first season and he’ll just think it’s normal. But at some point in his career he might not have a successful season.

“Then I guarantee, if you ask him the next time, it’ll feel better to do it again after having that disappoint­ment.

“The older you get, you just appreciate things a lot more and success in football is in that bracket.

“When you get the chance to lift trophies you have to embrace it.”
