What Callum McGregor told Celtic stars on Hampden pitch about winning as Greg Taylor lauds best feeling

Greg Taylor insists the Celtic squad are lucky to be part of a trophy grabbing machine – but fortune favours the brave when it comes to hoovering up silverware.

The Hoops have bagged three of the last four prizes up for grabs in Scotland after Sunday’s Viaplay Cup success. It’s been a relentless run for the Parkhead men with 22 trophies in the last 11 years and Taylor warned rivals there are no signs of Celts taking glory for granted.

Much has been made of Rangers boy Mick Beale’s ‘Lucky Man’ chat regarding Ange Postecoglou and the full back reckons it’s the players who are fortunate. But when it comes to getting the job done they make their own luck. Taylor said: “I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of it, to be honest. It’s such a difficult thing to do. People don’t realise that. We’re fortunate that we’re at a club where you get the chance most years to compete.

“But it’s getting that over the line, we are in a very fortunate position. Everyone in that changing room realises that. Just winning a trophy for this club is the best feeling. Callum made a good point on the pitch – you don’t get tired of it because it’s the best feeling in the world.

“Winning trophies, it’s what the club demands. The support on Sunday, I thought they were outstanding. They deserved it.”

The Celtic side deserved it too. They did a number on their fierce foes. Postecoglou’s men produced a methodical dismantling of the Light Blues and – despite a second half rally – by the final whistle the result could have been more emphatic.

Celtic used a low key opening 20 minutes to size up their opponents. To earn more than 70 percent possession in the first quarter of an Old Firm game is almost unheard of. But the Hoops were not hogging the ball
