Beaming Martin O'Neill labelled Callum McGregor a "brilliant" player after experiencing the Celtic skipper up close as he heaped praise on the Parkhead leader.

And his effusive remarks earned acclaim from Peter Grant, as he reckoned the 73-year-old tapped into his famed "psychology" by choosing to lavish praise on the famed skipper days after the sudden departure of mentor Brendan Rodgers.

O'Neill was beaming after his side's 4-0 trouncing over Falkirk and saved his kindest words for McGregor.

Some of our players are really good, you know sometimes you watch the team from the side? I've come up occasionally during the last couple of years to watch players, you think 'he's good', then you realise 'hey, he's really good'. Like the captain of the side, he's actually a brilliant player.

And Grant loved what he heard from the famed boss who is aiming to lead Celtic into a seventh Hampden Final under his watch.

The wee nugget, talking about the captain, who I think has been excellent in the last two games.
