Callum McGregor determined to add to Celtic’s silverware this season

Celtic captain Callum McGregor insists his side are “super motivated” for further success this season.

The Hoops won the William Hill Premiership title on Saturday with a thumping 5-0 victory over Dundee United at Tannadice, where Ryan Strain’s own goal kickstarted a rout as Nicolas Kuhn and Adam Idah both bagged braces.

Victory was Celtic’s 13th Premiership crown in 14 seasons and their fourth consecutive title triumph. The title was sealed with four league games left to go this season – which includes an Old Firm meeting with Rangers on Sunday.

They round off May with a Scottish Gas Scottish Cup final clash against Aberdeen at Hampden Park, a trophy that McGregor is already targeting.

“Obviously the league’s our bread and butter, that’s what we’ve set out at the start of every season – to try and win the league,” the 31-year-old said.

“We’ve done that. The last few days have been excellent, the boys have enjoyed themselves and now it’s time to go back to work. We’ve got a big game at the weekend.

“We set our targets at the start of the season – can we win everything that we’re in and the Scottish Cup final gives us the next opportunity to bring that home as well.

“The players are super motivated to do well. When you get to the cup final then you have to do a lot right to make sure you bring the trophy home and that’s exactly what we’ll try and do.”

McGregor was with team-mates Idah and Liam Scales in Dublin to promote Celtic’s game against Cork City at SuperValu Pairc Ui Chaoimh for the inaugural Cork Super Cup on July 8.
