SKIPPER McGREGOR SAYS CELTIC CAN BE A TOUGH GIG WHEN THINGS ARE NOT GOING TO PLAN

“You think back to the Motherwell game, we're making the game too difficult.

“We've got 20 minutes to go, we have to press the emergency button and then we come to life again.

“But you can't keep doing that, you have to make the game easier for yourself.”

Celtic can't afford to feel sorry for themselves either. The games are coming thick and fast and another monumental week lies ahead both in Europe and domestically.

The visit of Sturm Graz has already been dubbed as a must-win as the Hoops look to salvage their Europa League hopes, having picked up just one point from six.

Then there’s a powder keg trip to Tynecastle where Derek McInnes’ pumped-up Hearts side will believe they can stretch their lead at the top of the table to EIGHT points.
