Callum McGregor is intent on answering the questions that people will have about Celtic after defeat to Bodo/Glimt in the UEFA Europa Conference League on Thursday night.

Celtic are in the midst of a heavy schedule of matches. One of the benefits of that is getting the chance to quickly get over a disappointing result.

With Dundee visiting Paradise tomorrow, the players have a fantastic opportunity to get back on track and put that European nightmare behind them.

McGregor is looking for a Celtic response

McGregor wants to make sure his team don’t fall into some of the traps that can follow a result like that.

Speaking to The Herald, he said: “Thursday was a disappointing result. When you have a good result you need to follow it up with another good result. This is exactly the same.

“Everyone will be looking at us to see how we react. Are our heads going to go down? Are we going to work as hard? We have to go and answer those questions.

“The good thing about football is that every three or four days you get a chance to rectify a situation. That’s exactly what we’ll try and do now.

“These are all huge games. Especially when you get to this point in the season, every point counts and every game counts. You have to be at it. It’s up to the players to make sure they rest, get the right fuel into them and go again when the big games come around.”

Celtic can’t take anything for granted at the moment. Rivals Rangers have a difficult test away to Dundee United tomorrow but you have to expect they’ll be picking up full points in all their games given a positive reaction to derby defeat.

The Bhoys can’t afford to drop any points right now. That pressure can be difficult to deal with, especially after a defeat, but it’s up to McGregor and others to live up to these fighting words.

Questions being asked of Celtic are fine. It’s our response that matters.
