Callum McGregor, born on 14 June 1993 in Scotland, stands as an accomplished central defensive midfielder boasting an impressive tenure for his primary team, Celtic. Tallied at 5ft 10in (1.78m) and weighing in at 11st 9lb (74kg), he has graced the pitch wearing the distinguished number 42 jersey. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is tightly held around £6m, a commendable figure indeed. His contract with Celtic, solidifying his position on the team, extends through to 31 May 2028.
McGregor's journey with Celtic began in July 2013, marking his entry into Scotland's Premiership. His initial season showcased promising talent, scoring two goals over the course of 18 appearances. This set the track for a steady performance trajectory, tallying up to 33 appearances and two goals by the 2021-2022 season. As of the current 2024-2025 season, McGregor has already made 33 appearances with an impressive eight goals under his belt.
Breaking the rhythm of his Celtic journey, McGregor made a brief sojourn to Notts County in England's League Two in August 2013. His loan spell proved productive, contributing 12 goals in 37 league appearances. However, McGregor's bond with Celtic drew him back to Scotland in July 2014, where he resumed his steady performance and undeniably significant contribution to the team. This was evidently illustrated by consistently high number of appearances and regular goal contributions.
Alongside his consistent presence under Celtic, McGregor has shone on larger platforms, playing for his team in the Champions League for the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 seasons. Moreover, he's demonstrated key skills in the Scottish Cup (2024-2025) and the League Cup (2024-2025), scoring goals and cementing his relevance in these competitions.
