CALLUM McGREGOR insists Brendan Rodgers is as fired up as ever to keep Celtic on the trophy trail.

The Hoops manager dropped several bombshells in his pre-match press conference ahead of Kilmarnock tomorrow.

Rodgers let rip after a dramatic fortnight, branding a backstabbing club insider a coward who should resign, admitting the transfer window was a failure and revealing he’d love to stay at Celtic but still had not been offered a new deal.

The Irishman had been accused of working his ticket but McGregor is convinced his gaffer is as committed as ever.

He said: “When I see him, he loves the club, he loves being here, I think he loves the intensity of it as well.

“I think he gets certain people who come alive in the intensity and the pressure of it, and he’s certainly one of them.

“And like I said, he stood up here this morning and he threw the challenge to the players.

“I can see that he’s hungry, I can see that he wants the team back on track, pressing, running hard, playing fast football, so for me, all the signs are there that he’s still really, really motivated to do a good job here.
