Hurting Hoops told to bounce back in league

Celtic captain Callum McGregor knows there will be a “spotlight” on his side following their European disappointment.

McGregor is now determined to show they can react in the right manner when they face Hibernian tomorrow.

Celtic crashed out of the Europa Conference League on Thursday after a 2-0 defeat in Norway left them on the end of a 5-1 aggregate defeat by Bodo/Glimt.

Ange Postecoglou’s side never really got going over the two legs against a side who are still in their pre-season.

McGregor said on the Celtic website: “I think the really disappointing thing is that over the two legs we never showed the kind of team that we are, the quality that we have and the quality that we have reached this season.

“When you get the opportunity to perform at this level and you don’t take it, then it hurts, so we have to react in the right way and in a positive manner.”
