Callum McGregor, born in the heartlands of Scotland on 14 June 1993 (now 31 years young), treads the green as a vital fixture in Celtic's midfield. Primarily fulfilling the role of a central defensive midfielder, McGregor is of average build, standing at 5ft 10in (1.78m) and tipping the scales at 11st 9lb (74kg). He carries the legacy of the number 42 jersey on his back.
Based on figures from Transfermarkt, McGregor currently commands a respectable market value of around £6.5m. With three and a half years left on his contract, due to expire 31 May 2028, he remains a valuable asset for the Celtic establishment.
McGregor's journey with Celtic in the Scottish Premiership began in July 2013. Over the years, McGregor’s time on the field and his consistent performance bears testament to his value. In his first two seasons (2014 - 2016) at Celtic, McGregor made 45 first team appearances and netted six goals in league matches. The following season, his prominence grew; he made 31 appearances and scored six goals. Betwixt the 2017 and 2019 seasons, the midfielder appeared in 71 matches and scored 10 goals. From 2019 to the current 2024 - 2025 season, McGregor has added 115 more appearances to his belt as well as netting a further 24 goals. This seasoned player's record speaks for itself.
In August 2013, seeking even more experience, McGregor transferred from Celtic to Notts County in England's League Two, albeit on loan. During his debut season at County (2013 - 2014), McGregor impressed with 37 first team appearances and a remarkable 12 goals in league fixtures.
Upon the completion of his loan in July 2014, McGregor returned to Celtic and resumed his venture in the Premiership with renewed vigour. He has since held his spot and continued demonstrating his value consistently on the Celtic roster.
Apart from his national league contributions, McGregor has also made notable appearances on international stages such as the Champions League 2023 - 2024 and 2024 - 2025 seasons, starting six games and the League Cup 2024 - 2025 season, starting four matches for Celtic. His experiences in Celtic have indubitably moulded him into the icon he is today.
