‘Very quiet guy’: John Kennedy says Celtic have a ‘very special’ player in their squad who doesn’t say much
One thing any player cannot be in the Celtic first-team is quiet around the dressing room or in training.
There needs to be confidence, good communication and a belief in your ability if you are ever to make it as a successful player at Celtic.
Current captain, Callum McGregor, has all those qualities and more right now. But when he was a youngster just breaking through, McGregor was the quiet type that didn’t really speak much according to Celtic Assistant Manager, John Kennedy.
Kennedy said [The Official Celtic FC Podcast], “Callum was one I think he was towards the end of the youth side as I kind of took over them, the under 18s-19s at the time.
“He was a very special player. He was one who was very mature for his age, very humble, very quiet guy but whether he trained or played it was always the same level of performance in terms of his attitude and application was always 100%.
“He would take everything on board and was very driven to be successful.”
Callum McGregor is a warrior for Celtic now
What a difference a decade in the Celtic team makes. McGregor has not only developed into a wonderful footballer, he has turned into a fierce leader.
Taking over from Scott Brown, McGregor needed to put his own stamp on the Celtic captaincy and, my goodness, hasn’t he just?
