Celtic have a number of players in their ranks who are top-quality.
The likes of captain Callum McGregor who is synonymous with Celtic, has been an unbelievable part of the club’s history and success.
Barring a season-long loan at Notts County, McGregor has been the one constant in the Celtic first-team since 2014.
The 31-year-old midfielder is always the first name on the Celtic team sheet and the latest stats from FIFPRO’s latest report prove that.
One of the hardest-working Celtic players, how do McGregor’s stats stack up against the likes of Man United captain Bruno Fernandes?
Let’s take a look.
Callum McGregor’s Celtic FIFPRO stats vs Man United’s Bruno Fernandes
Bruno Fernandes is undoubtedly one of European football’s most talented players. Signed in 2020 in a deal worth around £68m, the Man United captain is a two-time Nations League winner having just beaten Spain this month in the final.
Fernandes is the captain of the English giants, so who better to compare McGregor’s stats to since 2018 than the highly successful Portuguese midfielder.
| FIFPRO stats | Callum McGregor | Bruno Fernandes |
| Total minutes played | 38,637 | 41,146 |
| Average minutes per game | 89.85 | 89.30 |
| Total appearances | 430 | 461 |
| Average time between matches (days) | 4.84 | 4.72 |
| Competitions played in | 12 | 17 |
| % of games 90 minutes + | 79% | 72% |
| Trophies won | 24 | 7 |
McGregor and Fernandes have both had phenomenal careers but it’s clear that if Celtic find a gem in the academy and develop them, success will follow.
