Calmac: Now we respond

CALLUM McGREGOR insists Celtic must go out and respond to being questioned.

The Parkhead skipper admits there’s no margin for error at this stage of the title battle and the troops have to deliver against Dundee.

McGregor and his team-mates have to recover from the European setback at the hands of Bodo/Glimt in order to stay top.

But the captain said: “We’re going well in the league. Thursday was a disappointing result. When you have a good result you need to follow it up with another good result. This is exactly the same.

“Everyone will be looking at us to see how we react. Are our heads going to go down? Are we going to work as hard?

“We have to answer those questions. The good thing about football is every three or four days you get a chance to rectify a situation.

“That’s exactly what we’ll try to do. Our full focus will be on recovering and then we go again here against Dundee.

“These are all huge games. Especially when you get to this point in the season, every point and every game counts.

“You have to be at it. It’s up to the players to make sure they rest, get the right fuel into them and go again.

“That’s the beauty of being at this club. The standards are always super high and you have to meet them.

“You’ve got to do everything you can so when the next game comes, you are fresh and ready to go. You attack every game exactly the same. You need to win.”

McGregor is wary of the threat that will be posed by Dark Blues as they travel to Glasgow with new manager Mark McGhee at the helm.

But he added: “We just have to do our homework and when we turn up here on Sunday, we have to give everything to win the game. And that’s what we’ll be doing.”
