McGregor is certain that Celtic will finish the Champions League on a high note.

McGregor, the captain, feels that Celtic’s victory over Feyenoord in their final Champions League match would be just reward for a futile campaign.

With Lazio’s 2-0 victory over the Hoops in Rome on Tuesday,

Brendan Rodgers’ team was officially confirmed to be in last place in

Group E and will not play any type of European football in the second half of the season.

Substitute Celtic will host Feyenoord next month,

and McGregor feels it is imperative that the Scottish champions,

who will finish bottom in their Champions League group for the second consecutive year,

end on a high note. Ciro Immobile’s two late goals kept Celtic on one point from five games.

“It’s massively important,” the Scotland midfielder stated on Celtic’s

YouTube channel. We believe that we deserve it, if nothing else.

“We believe that we have performed well enough to earn multiple points.

Therefore, if the outcome is what we expected, it was most likely earned through the piece.

“Obviously, we want to finish strong. We’re at home,

so we want to rally the supporters and give them a

glimmer of hope for maybe the competition next season.”

“There’s obviously a lot on the line, and wearing a Celtics jersey

means you’re always in it for the big picture. We therefore intend to play

that final game with the intention of winning and making everyone proud.

Until Immobile’s elegant goals in the 82nd and 85th minutes sealed the

three points in the Italian capital, Celtic gave it their all for the majority of the game.

After the VAR intervened and sent the Turkish official to the

pitch side monitor for a second look, the penalty that referee Halil Umut Meler

had given the Hoops for a push on substitute Oh Hyeon-gyu was reversed.
