It was some strike I\u2019ve got to say.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd Aberdeen beating Hearts yesterday, yeah, so it\u2019s cats back amongst the pigeons, mate.<\/p>\n \u201cI must admit, I was kind of gutted, because if Callum doesn\u2019t hit that goal, we were only three points behind you, but as it happens, we are still five.<\/p>\n \u201cBut no, we thought it would change, but there\u2019s still a long, long way to go, mate.\u201d<\/p>\n McGregor<\/a>\u2019s strike ensured Celtic kept control of the chase behind Hearts and kept Rangers at arm\u2019s length heading into another crucial run of fixtures.<\/p>\n
