Celtic midfielder Callum McGregor will be a marked man against RB Leipzig.
Former Celtic midfielder Mark Fotheringham has told that The Scottish Sun that a number of German clubs will be scouting Callum McGregor on Thursday night.
Celtic hammered Hearts 5-0 on Saturday afternoon, and now move on to their Europa League clash against RB Leipzig on Thursday night.
The Bhoys were beaten 2-0 in Leipzig in their last Europa League game, and must improve at Parkhead if they are to get through the group stage.
A key player will be midfielder McGregor, who may be tasked with the job of playing in holding midfield with Kouassi Eboue and Scott Brown both injured.
McGregor, 25, has come up through the Celtic ranks, and whilst Kieran Tierney has been billed as the top player to have come from the Bhoys youth setup, McGregor deserves praise too.
Now with more than 180 appearances for the club whilst scoring 35 goals, McGregor has become a star for Celtic, and a regular for Scotland too.
McGregor will surely attract interest soon, and ex-Celtic midfielder Mark Fotheringham has told The Scottish Sun that there will be German clubs scouting McGregor on Thursday night against Leipzig.
Fotheringham, who played for Freiburg after his spell with Celtic, believes that McGregor can play for a top Premier League or even Bayern Munich, praising him as an ‘outstanding’ talent.
“Callum’s an outstanding talent,” said Fotheringham. “I believe he would be perfect for the Bundesliga because he’s such a talented, technical player. Callum’s the one player in the Celtic squad who could play for Bayern Munich — I honestly rate him that highly. There will be a lot of top German clubs watching him against Leipzig.”
“Nothing about Callum’s future would surprise me. I think he’s got a massive move in him, to a club like Bayern or one of the English Premiership teams. Football in Germany isn’t as helter-skelter as it is in Scotland,” he added.
