A clip of Celtic skipper Callum McGregor has gone viral in regard to Sunday\u2019s post match celebrations, as like everyone else our skipper was caught up in the emotion created by Julian Araujo\u2019s last gasp winner. However it all seems to have got to quite a few people, not of a Celtic minded persuasion.<\/p>\n

Callum was clearly purring with emotion as he pointed to his badge and roared \u201cwe\u2019re not going anywhere\u201d to the equally as emotional and delighted travelling Celtic support in the Rugby Park stands. We\u2019ve actually missed out a sweary word before anywhere in that quote shown above.<\/p>\n

\u2665\ufe0f HEARTS: \u2018Neither are we Callum\u2019<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd35 RANGERS: \u2018Neither are we Callum\u2019<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just what we as supporters want to see and here from our skipper, especially with a tough run of fixtures awaiting us. Callum clearly cares and understands the importance of what\u2019s ahead, and so he should as he knows what it takes to win trophies.<\/p>\n

Kieran Tierney observed the other day that given all that\u2019s gone on at Celtic this season winning the league would be the sweetest of them all <\/a>for him and it\u2019s really rather remarkable that we\u2019re even in a position to challenge<\/a> for the title given the season of unrest and upheaval that we have endured.<\/p>\n

Callum McGregor has that winning mentality, can our rivals say the same? Some have ridiculed Cal\u2019s adrenaline fuelled remark as are we are still sitting in third place, but that last gasp winner kept us in contention, and at the end of the day, we are only three points behind top spot with a game in hand.<\/p>\n

Cal knows we have gone through a tough period, and he like his teammates are somewhat underperforming, but his passionate outburst shows that he cares, and isn\u2019t giving up without a fight, just the qualities that you demand of your skipper.<\/p>\n

The two sets of supporters who are ridiculing our captain, have to remember one thing. Callum McGregor can back up his words, unlike their own sides. he has the medals to prove it.<\/p>\n

Indeed Callum has won more trophies than the two of our title rivals combined, so he clearly has the right to display his emotions and feelings without being ridiculed. He can very much talk the talk as he has proven as much by walking the walk. Can others say the same? Tavernier? Shankland? No they can\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Callum McGregor truly is like the song goes, just like me and you. He\u2019s a winner, and he just proved to everyone that he still has that hunger and desire to succeed. And he loves Celtic too.<\/p>\n

Just an Ordinary Bhoy<\/p>\n
