Celtic’s captain, Callum McGregor, has committed to the club by signing a new five-year contract and aims to achieve further success under the return of manager Brendan Rodgers.
The 30-year-old Scottish midfielder, who has been with Celtic for over 20 years since coming up through the youth ranks, will continue his tenure at Parkhead until the summer of 2028.
This contract extension follows recent deals for Kyogo Furuhashi and Daizen Maeda, as Celtic looks to secure its core players for the future.
During his time at Celtic, McGregor has already amassed an impressive collection of 20 trophies, including an outstanding five domestic trebles.
Now, with Rodgers back at the helm following Ange Postecoglou’s departure to Tottenham, McGregor is determined to maintain the club’s winning tradition and continue adding to their trophy cabinet.

We are delighted to announce that Callum McGregor has signed a new five-year contract which will see him remain at the club until the summer of 2028💚#COYBIG
He told the club’s official website: “It’s amazing to extend my stay at the club. As I’ve touched on before, this club means so much to me and the success that we’ve had over the past few seasons has cemented that.
“I feel like the club’s in a great place to move forward as well, and when they came and asked me to extend my stay I was absolutely delighted.
“Brendan’s a top manager and I had the pleasure of working with him before and seeing what he did with that group of players, especially a young, hungry group similar to ourselves, and the way he progressed us and took us on.
“His personality around the place gives the building another lift as well, so the club’s in a really strong place.
“We did some great work over the last couple of years but it’s important that we bank that and we continue to move forward because in football you always have to continue your progress and get even better.
