Celtic captain callum mcgregor brutally called out popular rangers legend who’s always talking bulsh**t about him and his club

Celtic captain Callum McGregor delivered a scathing post-match interview after his side’s 4–0 victory over Falkirk targeting critics who have repeatedly questioned and criticized him and the team.

The midfielder, who played a commanding role in midfield during the comprehensive win, did not hold back when asked about ongoing media commentary. His words, full of fire and defiance, were aimed squarely at pundits who have consistently criticized both Celtic and their captain.

For weeks, Rangers legend Ally McCoist has publicly questioned Celtic’s mentality and leadership under McGregor, using his platform on television to repeatedly voice his opinions. McCoist has suggested that Celtic “don’t look like a team anymore” and has frequently targeted McGregor personally, prompting widespread reaction among fans.

“He never wants to stop talking about me and my team,” McGregor said, his voice steady but firm. “But he seems to have forgotten that we’re still doing better than his former team. People can say what they like, but the results and performances speak for themselves.”

The Celtic captain’s comments came immediately after the match, and he made it clear that while criticism is part of the game, repeated personal attacks cross the line.

“I’ve got nothing against opinions  that’s football,” McGregor added. “But when it turns into a constant narrative, when the same person is on TV every week talking nonsense about you and your club, you have to stand up and respond. We do our talking on the pitch.”

McGregor emphasized that his squad remains focused and united, using external criticism as motivation rather than distraction.

“We hear the chatter every week, and it’s always the same voices,” he said. “He talks about us constantly on TV, but the truth is, we’re delivering on the field. Tonight’s 4–0 win over Falkirk is proof that we’re still strong, still ambitious, and still performing at a high level.”

The midfielder also hinted at the upcoming Glasgow derby against Rangers, sending a pointed message to McCoist and anyone else watching.

“Sunday’s going to be massive, and some people might be in for a shock,” McGregor said. “We’re focused, we’re ready, and we’ll let our football do the talking. That’s how we respond to people who can’t stop having a go.”

McGregor’s fiery response has already sparked a wave of discussion among fans and media alike. Many supporters praised the captain for finally addressing McCoist’s persistent commentary head-on, calling his words “truthful” and “long overdue.”

“We stick together as a team,” McGregor explained. “Everyone has an opinion, but our priority is the club, the fans, and our performances. We respect all pundits, but when someone keeps targeting you week after week, it’s fair to speak up. I’m not interested in a media war, but I won’t stay silent either.”

The Hoops’ dominant win over Falkirk gave McGregor a perfect backdrop for his message. “The pitch is where we answer questions,” he said. “Tonight, we showed our quality. And we’ll keep doing that every week, regardless of what anyone says on TV. Our focus is on winning, improving, and making sure Celtic remain at the top.”

With the Old Firm derby looming, McGregor’s interview has already added fuel to the rivalry. His candid remarks highlight the simmering tension between the Hoops and the pundit who once starred for their city rivals. Fans and commentators alike are now eagerly anticipating how the captain and his team will respond on Sunday.

“Criticism doesn’t faze us,” McGregor concluded. “We know who we are, we know our capabilities, and we’re ready to prove it  both on the pitch and to anyone who keeps talking about us.”

In a post-match interview full of passion, McGregor demonstrated why he is not only Celtic’s captain but also the voice of the team. His pointed words at McCoist underscore a message that resonates across Glasgow: Celtic will respond with performances, not excuses, and the champions are far from slowing down.
