Football

Celtic captain Callum McGregor says the Glasgow club must win at least five of their final seven matches to retain the league title.

McGregor believes Celtic have manufactured a position to challenge for the Scottish Premiership title following recent results. The midfielder stated the squad must secure five or six victories from their remaining seven fixtures to ensure they finish top of the table. According to Sky Sports, the captain remains confident in the team's ability to handle the pressure of the closing stages of the season.

Celtic currently sit second in the standings, one point behind leaders Rangers, although their rivals hold a game in hand. Per STV News, McGregor highlighted that the narrow margins in the race mean there is little room for error. He noted that the squad previously showed the necessary mentality to win trophies under difficult circumstances.

The captain recently returned to the starting line-up following an injury lay-off. He emphasized the importance of maintaining consistency and focus as the league prepares to split for the final five matches of the campaign.
