Callum McGregor reveals half-time Celtic dressing room 'message' vs Rangers

Callum McGregor has revealed what was said in the Celtic dressing room at half-time in his side's 1-1 draw with Rangers at Ibrox. 

Brendan Rodgers' men went in at the break a goal down as Cyriel Dessers struck late in the opening 45. 

Post-match, McGregor revealed what was said between him and his teammates: "It's not a great time to concede," he quipped [Sky Sports].

"But listen, we were well in the game, and that was the message at half-time. As soon as you start moving the ball, you get space, and probably more space than we thought we did at points. So, the message was just to try and stay calm, switch the game, and you'll get your opportunities like we did."

Adam Idah equalised for Celtic just before the hour mark. 

The goal was initially disallowed for offside, although after VAR got involved, it was soon given. 

Daizen Maeda then had a considerable chance to win it for the visitors late on. 

Chris Sutton thinks the Japanese forward should've done better: "This is incredible," he said. 

"Johnny Kenny is screaming to Daizen Maeda, 'You've got to put it to me'. 

"When he's in position, had Maeda found Kenny there, he'd have had the easiest of tasks. Wrong decision. Rangers get away with it."

Celtic return to action next Saturday when they welcome Hibernian to Glasgow's east end for their penultimate home match of the campaign.
