Callum McGregor’s stunner put Celtic on the road to Hampden glory.
A EUPHORIC Callum McGregor admitted scoring a stunner at Hampden to help seal an unprecedented Double Treble for Celtic would live with him forever.
With just over 10 minutes on the clock in the Scottish Cup final, the midfielder sent a sensational strike into the top corner from 25 yards, with his supposedly weaker right foot, to open the scoring against Motherwell.
Olivier Ntcham drilled in another excellent finish from distance to double the lead before the break as the seven-in-a-row champions dominated at the National Stadium.
After that, there was no way back from the Steelmen as the Hoops lifted the silverware for the 38th time and made history by becoming the first Scottish club to win back-to-back clean sweeps.
Like so many times this season, McGregor had been the man for the big occasion and he was thrilled to have played a prominent part on an unforgettable day for the club and its supporters.
