After hearing rumors about Celtics player Callum McGregor, a pundit says that he is a “brutally honest” person.

The Scotland international break is now over, and Celtic supporters can now focus on Sunday’s return to domestic play.

Due to his recent injury, it is unlikely that Celtic captain Callum McGregor will play in the challenging away match against Livingston.

Despite what Tam McManus stated about him, the key midfield player is still a key component of Steve Clarke’s plans even though he missed Scotland’s friendlies against the Netherlands and Northern Ireland.

The former Hibs player stated that McGregor might have trouble returning to the Scotland starting lineup following the trio’s impressive performance against the Netherlands in midfield under Clarke, which included Billy Gilmour, Scott McTominay, and John McGinn.

And his colleague commentator, Pet, has vigorously denied that assertion.

When McManus stated that McGregor is so essential to the style of play that Scotland manager Steve Clarke wants his squad to adopt, the PLZ Soccer host was not amused.

“I’m going to be brutally honest with you, I mean over the last three, four years, Callum McGregor is the best midfielder in Scotland,” Martin stated [PLZ Soccer].

“I don’t see him giving up on the game.” He is, in my opinion, the fundamental cornerstone of Scotland’s style of play under Steve Clark.There is no doubt in my mind that McGregor joins the Scotland team as soon as he is fit. Being a big supporter of the Celtic captain, Clarke has openly commended the midfield player for his previous national team work.

Scotland will need McGregor in that lineup if they are to advance out of their group in the Euros, as he allows players like John McGinn and McTominay the flexibility to back the lone striker whenever he is on the field.

McGregor has repeatedly shown that he is not only the inspiration behind Celtic, but also a major factor in the current success of his nation.
