Celtic fans impressed with Callum McGregor against Lille

Celtic got their first points on the board in Group H on Thursday evening with a 2-2 draw against Lille.

Neil Lennon’s side were two goals to the good at the interval thanks to Mohamed Elyounoussi’s brace in the space of five minutes.

However, The Hoops failed to take all three points, with second-half goals from Zeki Celik and Jonathan Ikone ensuring the spoils were shared.

Callum McGregor once again featured in green and white, and his display came in for plenty of praise from several Celtic supporters.

The 27-year-old made his 17th appearance in all competitions this season in France and has missed just 12 minutes of action all season.

The midfielder recorded a WhoScored rating of 7.52 – Elyounoussi, Diego Laxalt and Jeremie Frimpong were the only other Celtic players to end with a higher rating.

Plenty of Hoops supporters took to social media to share their views on the display, with many picking out McGregor’s performance for praise.

Twitter: A lot of positives to take from that performance, albeit disappointing to lose a 2 goal lead.
