Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic side won their seventh trophy in succession yesterday at Hampden Park.

Celtic midfielder Callum McGregor has suggested to the Glasgow Evening Times that expectations need to be tempered around Parkhead.

Celtic won their seventh trophy in succession yesterday, after lifting the League Cup at Hampden Park.

After the match, McGregor heard Ryan Christie being asked about the possibility of winning the ‘treble treble’.

And McGregor felt that it was too early to be thinking too far ahead.

He said: “Ryan [Christie] hadn’t got one foot out of the dressing room and I heard him being asked about a treble treble!” McGregor said.

“We know that will be the chat now but we have to just do what we have done all along and keep our focus.

“Ryan has come in and taken his chance and we’re delighted for him. He has been brilliant and we were just delighted to come away with another trophy.”

Celtic picked up their 1-0 win over Aberdeen with Christie’s first-half strike proving the difference between the two sides.

Brendan Rodgers is still yet to lose a cup match since taking charge at Celtic three seasons ago.

Christie’s goal in the contest helped to highlight his rise this season, with the Scottish international now enjoying a brilliant breakthrough campaign.

Celtic are next in action on Wednesday against Motherwell, when a victory could lift them back up to the top of the Scottish Premiership table.
