McGregor keen to ‘build something special’ with O’Neill amid exit talkImage source, SNSImage caption, Speculation surrounding Callum McGregor’s future has intensified over the past weekPublished42 minutes agoCallum McGregor feels he can help “build something special” with Martin O’Neill’s Celtic, despite speculation surrounding the captain’s future.The 33-year-old has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia in recent months.The former Scotland midfielder stressed in April that he wanted to keep playing for Celtic but also make sure the club “continue to push”.Reports have claimed he has recently changed his agency to the same group that represents former Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers, who is currently in charge of Saudi Pro League outfit Al Qadsiah.That development has intensified talk about McGregor’s future, but he has since spoken of his motivation to deliver more success under O’Neill.Discussing the permanent return of O’Neill – who guided Celtic to a Scottish Premiership and Scottish Cup double last term – and his backroom team, McGregor told club media: “All amazing guys who gave absolutely everything for the club and the cause last season.”Especially second time round, it would have been easy to stay away, and they took that challenge.”That tells you the type of people they are. They like a challenge, they face it head on. That’s exactly the way I am as well as a player and a person.”So to see them back in the dugout and everybody back together gives that nice feeling that we can move forward and build something special.”How valuable are Engels, Maeda & McGregor to Celtic?
