I Will not play again: Celtic star player confirms his departure….

Callum McGregor has admitted it will take the best performance of his entire time at Celtic to overcome Bayern Munich and make it to the last 16 of the Champions League.

 

However, the Parkhead captain insists he saw enough in the closing stages of his side’s 2-1 first leg loss in Glasgow last week to convince him that the current squad are capable of going to the imposing surroundings of the Allianz Arena and getting one of the greatest results in history.

A late goal from Daizen Maeda gave Celtic a lifeline to cling onto last Wednesday and McGregor was clear when asked whether the team will have to reach heights he has never experienced before to overcome the current Bundesliga leaders.

Yeah, I think so,’ he said. ‘I think we have to max out in terms of performance level, and there’s no reason why we can’t.

 

‘Having seen what we’ve seen in the first game, we need a bit of luck and we need to be really good on the night, but we just go and we leave nothing on the pitch and see where we go from there.

 

‘When you go into these games, everybody’s got to believe that you can win. Even the way the first leg played out, there were very small margins and, on another night, with a different referee, who knows?

So, the number one aspect was that the performance was there. I think, if one of the big teams loses 2-1 away from home, then everybody still thinks they’re in the tie, so I don’t see any reason why we shouldn’t feel that way.
