Callum McGregor backs Celtic to stay top

Callum McGregor says that Celtic are producing their best form after topping the Scottish Premiership for the first time this season.

Celtic midfielder Callum McGregor has said that his side are confident of remaining at the top of the Scottish Premiership until the end of the season.

The Hoops climbed to the summit of the table for the first time this campaign following a 2-1 win over Aberdeen, and McGregor believes that they have finally found their best form.

"It's a good feeling," The Telegraph quotes McGregor as saying. "The game on Sunday was excellent, especially with the way we won it.

"We're delighted to be top of the table and we hope we can stay there," he said. "It's not been easy. We had the change of manager and the time it takes to settle in.

"It's taken us a bit of time to get back but we got there in the end. Now we just need to keep up the performances and focus on staying there. Expectations at Celtic are massive. You have to win every game but you need to do it the right way. The stats are coming together now."

Celtic have been the champions of Scotland for the past three seasons.
