Celtic's McGregor says Brendan Rodgers will prove critics wrong
Celtic midfielder Callum McGregor says criticism of the club and manager Brendan Rodger's will only act as motivation for the Glasgow side.
Celtic have failed to match their imperious highs of the last few years this season, having lost twice in the Scottish Premier League already and failed to qualify for the Champions League.
This has led to critics suggesting that the Parkhead side are past their best, with manager Brendan Rodgers a target for criticsm.
However McGregor says they will only use this for motivation, in quotes reported on 'MailOnline' he said:
''Recently everybody has been giving us a bit of criticism and having a bit of a stab. That's because over the last couple of years nobody has been able to say anything about results or performances.
''So everybody is sort of coming for us a bit now. But we know the strength of our group and our manager and know that we can come out of this really well.
''When the criticism is thrown at the manager, it's in his nature to stay and prove people wrong.
''You want a top manager running your team for as long as you can.
''For everybody at Celtic, be it fans or players, we want him to stay and we hope he does.''
