Brendan Rodgers raves about Celtic midfielder Callum McGregor

Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has showered heaps of praise on midfielder Callum McGregor, saying he is a special talent.

The 24-year-old is a homegrown player who has come through the academy ranks at the club. Rodgers has played a huge part in reviving his career, and he is playing with full confidence at the moment.

McGregor was overlooked by former national coach Gordon Strachan, but Alex McLeish included him in his squad in recent international friendly games.

He used him as a substitute in the friendly against Costa Rica and then gave him a start in the 1-0 victory over Hungary in Budapest on Tuesday.
