Callum McGregor highlights the Celtic moment he knew youth star Owen Moffat would succeed

It's early in his Celtic career but Owen Moffat is already making an impression at the club.

And Callum McGregor insists he has the attitude to go all the way at Celtic Park after witnessing it first hand during training last season.

McGregor knows all about coming through the ranks at the club and he was delighted with how the Hoops performed during their pre-season opener against Sheffield Wednesday.

A lot of young players were included in the squad with Moffat grabbing a goal and he was singled out by McGregor as their Wales camp continued.

Ange Postecoglou has spoken about how he wants to integrate youth and that has to be good news for Moffat, with McGregor describing when he thought he was destined to go far.

He told the Celtic YouTube channel : "The young lads yesterday, I thought they were excellent.

"After a shaky start, they regained their composure and went on and won the game convincingly, which is great to see.

"Obviously a mention for young Moffatt, his attitude has been first class. I remember watching him at the end of last season, training on the astro himself.

"Every day they would do finishing and I remember thinking 'he's got a finish on him'. I wasn't surprised yesterday when it dropped and he half-volleyed it into the net.

"It's brilliant for guys like that to come in and show what they can do."
