Callum McGregor’s Race Against Time for Celtic vs. Rangers Clash

Callum McGregor, the captain of Celtic, is in a race against time to be fit for the upcoming Old Firm derby against Rangers. McGregor, a pivotal player for the team, suffered an injury that has put his participation in doubt. Brendan Rodgers, Celtic's manager, revealed that McGregor had communicated his determination to recover in time for the crucial match. Despite his efforts, McGregor was ruled out of the game, as confirmed by multiple sources.

The severity of McGregor's injury was a major concern for Celtic fans, with reports indicating that the midfielder had been struggling with the issue for some time. McGregor himself expressed his commitment to doing everything possible to be ready for the derby, emphasizing the importance of the match to both him and the club. However, medical assessments ultimately led to the decision to sideline him, prioritizing his long-term health over the immediate needs of the team.

This development is a significant blow to Celtic, as McGregor's leadership and on-field contributions are invaluable. The team will now have to adapt without their captain as they face their fierce rivals, Rangers, in what promises to be a hotly contested encounter.
