Last campaign, McGregor returned from a supposed season-ending scan to help Celtic claim Scottish Premiership and Scottish Cup glory.

On the big occasion, the Lennoxtown product always seems to have a decisive say. Despite Scotland’s disappointing EURO 2024 campaign, the 31-year-old registered an assist during the group stagesagainst Switzerland and gave a good account of himself in Germany.

Rest will be paramount to ensure he is fighting fit for the start of 2024/25. Either way, McGregor has given some intriguing insight into how he has managed never to lose a cup final in Celtic colours.

Speaking to The Celtic View, he stated: “I don’t want anybody to jinx me, but then people talk about it and you think: Let’s make them wait a bit longer. I’m delighted; you can only prepare so much; you get yourself mentally and physically ready, prepare the team, and then there’s a little bit of luck comes into it as well.

“I’m delighted to keep it going, and the more it grows arms and legs, the better you feel about it. When you come back, you arrive into these big games full of confidence because you’ve got so much to look back on.”
