McGregor says Celtic still to find 'ruthless streak' in title pursuit #celtic #scotland #football

Callum McGregor believes Celtic can become “even more ruthless” in their pursuit of a third straight Premiership title once the club’s summer signings have had time to bed in after overcoming a tricky away trip to Aberdeen.

Matt O’Riley sealed a second win to start the league campaign late on at Pittodrie following a frantic opening half an hour that saw the visitors take the lead twice through Liel Abada and Kyogo Furuhashi either side of Bojan Miovski’s leveller for the hosts.

The Celtic captain admitted Brendan Rodgers’ side had to dig deep to secure the three points against Barry Robson’s men after their third place finish last term, likening the victory to the win under former boss Ange Postecoglu two years ago that propelled the class of 2021/22 to the league crown.

McGregor insisted the side are now focused on setting the pace in the early part of the season, adding they are taking confidence from every win.
