Postecoglou names one Celtic player who can ’cause any team problems’ at Euro 2024
Celtic fans still hold a deep affection for their former manager, Ange Postecoglou. After his recent comments about Scotland’s national team, he’s likely won over even more fans within the Tartan Army.
During his two-year tenure at Celtic, Postecoglou transformed the club’s playing style and led the team to remarkable success.
Under his guidance, Celtic won five out of six domestic trophies, including a record-breaking eighth domestic treble. At the heart of this success was Celtic captain Callum McGregor, whose consistent performances were pivotal to the team’s achievements.
Postecoglou has always been a staunch supporter of McGregor, and their strong bond was evident throughout their time together at Celtic.
As McGregor faces criticism in the lead-up to Scotland’s Euro 2024 qualifiers, Postecoglou’s words of encouragement are timely and significant.
In a recent interview with ITV Football, Postecoglou expressed his admiration for Scotland and McGregor. He stated, “I have to declare I am a Scotland fan and I have followed them now since I was up at Celtic for a couple of years.
They obviously got blown away in their first game. It’s always hard when you’re facing the hosts in the first game of the tournament. It could go either way.
The host could be nervous and we can see that Germany was really flying and that’s as probably as passive as I’ve seen the Scottish team for quite a long time.
Their strength, and they showed it in the second game is just their capacity to run, harass, real energy, Robertson, McGinn, McGregor, Billy Gilmour and McTominay.
And if they bring that they can cause any team problems. I think they’ll relish that tomorrow and have spoken about making history getting through the group phase, I think they’re a good bet for Euro 2024.”
Callum McGregor is widely regarded as one of Scotland’s most talented midfielders. His influence extends beyond club football; he has been instrumental in Scotland’s national team, helping them qualify for two Euros under Steve Clarke.
McGregor’s leadership in midfield has been crucial in securing victories against formidable opponents like Spain, Norway, and Ukraine.
As Scotland prepares to face Hungary, McGregor’s role will be critical. His ability to control the midfield and drive the team forward could be the key to Scotland advancing from the group stages.
Postecoglou’s confidence in McGregor’s abilities echoes the sentiments of many who believe that he can lead Scotland to success in this crucial match.
The stakes are high for Scotland, and McGregor’s performance will be under intense scrutiny. However, with the backing of his former manager and the support of his teammates, McGregor is well-positioned to rise to the occasion.
Postecoglou’s belief in Scotland’s potential to make history by advancing through the group stage is a testament to the team’s resilience and the talent.
As the Euro 2024 qualifiers progress, all eyes will be on Callum McGregor and his ability to lead Scotland to victory. Postecoglou’s praise and support underscore the midfielder’s importance to both Celtic and the national team.
With his proven track record and unwavering determination, McGregor is poised to play a pivotal role in Scotland’s quest for success.
In conclusion, McGregor’s talent and leadership have been instrumental in both Celtic’s and Scotland’s successes.
As he prepares for the critical match against Hungary, the support from Postecoglou and the confidence of the fans will undoubtedly inspire him to perform at his best.
Scotland’s journey in the Euro 2024 qualifiers is a testament to the team’s strength and potential, with McGregor at the heart of their quest for glory.
