Celtic manager Neil Lennon speaks highly of Callum McGregor.
Celtic manager Neil Lennon has paid tribute to midfielder Callum McGregor.
McGregor signed a new five year contract, this week, BBC Sport reported.
It is just 11 months since he signed an earlier deal, and the improved offer comes as reward for his performances.
Speaking in a press conference ahead of Celtic’s match away to Lazio in the Europa League, Lennon praised McGregor’s contribution to the club over the past few years.
McGregor, 26, has scored five goals for Celtic this season but is yet to net in the Europa League.
If he can open his account away at Lazio on Thursday night it will be huge for Celtic in their efforts to qualify from the group.
A draw or a win will keep Celtic in control of the group, but a defeat will open it up with two games remaining.
