Callum McGregor says Celtic thrashing of Rangers was coming but captain fires title complacency warning

Callum McGregor has urged Celtic ’s high-flying stars to stay humble and remain ahead in the title fight.

The Parkhead outfit soared to the top of the Scottish Premiership with their derby destruction of Rangers.

Ange Postecoglou ’s team are now a point clear with 14 games remaining in the flag race and carrying serious momentum and confidence as they prepare for their next outing at Motherwell on Sunday.

“We’re a good group, we’re an honest group. We know where we are and we know how far we’ve come in a short space of time.

“As a group we probably felt it was coming, we felt we were due it, but you still have to go and deliver and that is what we did.

“We’ll take the confidence from that, but we’ll not have any arrogance.

“We won’t think anything is done because it’s certainly not.

“We’ve been over the course before, there will be a lot more twists and turns in the title race between now and the end of the season and all that does is give us a good platform.

“Every single game, we have to be at it, we’ve got to play like that every week if we can.

“It’s another challenge for us now to stay humble, keep working and don’t get above our station because we haven’t achieved anything yet at all.
