Callum McGregor signs new four-year contract at Celtic

Celtic midfielder Callum McGregor had signed a new four-year contract at the club.

The 24-year-old is now under contract until the summer of 2021 and he told the official Celtic website just how pleased he was to put pen to paper on a new deal.

Celtic has been part of my life for so many years and as I’ve gone through the levels club really has become my home. I really wanted to make sure I continued to be part of such a great club and it’s a huge honour to sign this new contract.

McGregor, who has been at Celtic since he was eight-years-old and has played for the club at every level possible, has become a key part of Brendan Rodgers’ squad and it was his regular involvement in the first-team that made it an easy decision to stay at the club for what should be his peak years.

I’ve really enjoyed being part of the first-team in the last couple of years and it really makes my time at Celtic and coming through the ranks, so worthwhile. We have a great bunch of lads in the team, some real quality players and we’re bringing our fans success, so it was something I just had to stay part of.

With no more contract talks to distract him, McGregor will be fully focused on the current season and despite the recent hammering by Paris Saint-Germain, he says the club’s staff and teammates will continue to do all they can to bring success to the club.

The gaffer has been great here in the past year and I’m totally focused now on continuing to work with him and the staff to always improve personally as a player and work as a team to bring more and more success to our supporters.
