Callum McGregor has set his sights on finishing Celtic’s season in style by getting one over Rangers at Ibrox this weekend.
The champions, who wrapped up their fourth successive Scottish Premiership title with four games to spare by thrashing Dundee United on Saturday, have extra motivation to lay down a marker after losing their last two derby meetings against their Glasgow rivals.
McGregor, nominated for PFA Player of the Year alongside teammates Daizen Maeda and Nicolas Kuhn, and Dundee striker Simon Murray, admitted Celtic are desperate to put things right on enemy turf.
“Yeah, of course,” replied the Celtic captain when asked if he wants to “put things right” when they head across the city on Sunday.

“I think when you lose any derby game, then the next one you want to win, and that was the same obviously going into the game in Celtic Park, but we never quite worked it that way. Circumstances occurred at the end of the game, and they carried a bit of luck.
“So yeah, we have to try and put it right, but obviously, we understand it's a difficult away game. However, we are in a good momentum, we are in good form, and we go into the game full of that.
“We want to put it right, as we have lost the last two, and we want to win this one.”
