Callum McGregor has responded to Todd Cantwell’s claim that he will earn MORE than the Celtic captain.
The Rangers midfielder spoke about an obvious rivalry between the pair after they got involved in a few bags in last month’s 3-3 draw at Ibrox. McGregor was seen on camera telling Cantwell to check the scoreline with the Celtic striker in Govan. There was another clash after the final whistle, after Rabbo Matondo equalised to salvage a 3-3 draw for Philippe Clement’s side.
Cantwell then said, “Is there a rivalry there, there? Listen, there are things that are said on the field and things that are said off the field. And, as a player, I think you have to respect it. I probably need to win. “As much as he is, probably a little bit more, to be honest, because he’s been here a long time. It’s a rivalry, it’s a competition. Both groups need to win, either group has to win. That’s todo. es. “
As the pair prepare to face each other at Celtic Park on Saturday, McGregor was asked about Cantwell’s comments. But the Hoops’ captain disappointed them and it turned out we decided to talk about the park. He said, “If that’s your opinion, smart of you. “
As for keeping feelings in check, McGregor added, “The game is emotional. You have to be emotional when you bet on the game because I think you have to locate anything else to check to get your team over the line.
“Whatever the game throws at you, you have to face it and try to find a solution. Sometimes it’s tricky, it’s smart football that makes you win games. You have to find the right cocktail to try and win the game. “.
