Callum McGregor and Odsonne Edouard are important players for Celtic.

Chris Sutton has suggested in The Daily Record that there have been recent signs that Celtic midfielder Callum McGregor is getting back to his best.

The former Celtic striker, who now works as a pundit for BBC Sport and BT Sport, believes that the spark was missing in McGregor in the opening stages of the season.

Sutton has also suggested that an injury to first-choice striker Odsonne Edouard could be a problem for the Hoops.

Sutton wrote about McGregor: “Having been told he was too valuable to let go, yet being the one shunted to left-back when Cluj were in Glasgow the last time for one of the biggest games of the season which was lost may also have messed with his mind.

“Whatever the reasons, the spark seemed missing. But there were signs in recent weeks that it was coming back in his role alongside Scott Brown.”

Sutton wrote about Edouard: “Odsonne Edouard scored again, James Forrest made one and there were good signs from Mohamed Elyounoussi.

“It’s not all perfect. Edouard’s link-up play to go with his goal was sublime but with Leigh Griffiths out of the picture and the jury still out on Vakoun Bayo, you’d fear if the Frenchman got an injury.”

Important players

Both McGregor and Edouard are important players for Celtic, and the midfielder and the striker are playing well at the moment.

While the 26-year-old Scotland international midfielder has established himself as a force in the Celtic midfield, the 21-year-old Frenchman is banging in the goals regularly for Neil Lennon’s side.

With Celtic aiming to win the domestic treble yet again this season, as well as progress to the knockout rounds of the Europa League, both McGregor and Edouard will have to be on top of their game.
