The Scottish champions are up against it in Europe after two defeats but the captain believes there is still plenty of positives
But the Parkhead skipper admit his side will need to be perfect in the remaining games to reach the knockout promised land. The Hoops are up against it in Europe after Wednesday’s agonising last gasp defeat to Lazio in Glasgow left them pointless after the opening two games. Spanish big guns Atletico Madrid are up next in a daunting double header for Brendan Rodgers' side but McGregor insisted Celts have nothing to fear at this level.
He said: “When you play at this level, the teams have the quality to hurt you. We spent the last 15 to 20 minutes with the ball but we made one mistake and the boy scores with a brilliant header at the back post. “It’s just trying to bridge that gap in quality and trying to get results at this level. It’s maybe that bit of luck. It’s maybe just not quite falling for us.
The captain said: “He wants to win. He’s a winner. I’ve known that since the first time he was here. That’s just the way he’s programmed. He won’t settle for any less. McGregor’s side are already top of the table while Rangers are lurching around in crisis and the skipper has warned his side are only just getting warmed up. He said: “It was a wee bit sluggish at the start but we seem to be getting a lot slicker.
