Celtic star Callun McGregor reveals Brendan Rodgers sent him text

Celtic confirmed yesterday that Callum McGregor has signed a new five-year contract at the club that will keep him at Parkhead till 2024.

McGregor has developed into a top-class midfielder in the last three seasons, and therefore it didn’t come as a surprise that Celtic have tied him down on a long-term deal.

The 26-year-old has been one of the most consistent players for the Bhoys for the last 24 months, and was reportedly wanted by Leicester City during the summer transfer window.

McGregor has claimed that he has been congratulated by former Celtic boss and Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers, who sent him a text after he signed a new deal.
