Aiden McGeady defends Callum McGregor amid fitness criticism
Summary

Aiden McGeady has defended Callum McGregor following criticism of the Celtic captain's fitness. McGeady, speaking on Go Radio Football Show, argued that suggestions McGregor's legs have 'gone' are unjustified. He emphasized McGregor's need for more support in midfield, asserting that the team lacks a true 'number six' to aid him. McGregor's performance has faced scrutiny, but McGeady believes the issues stem from a lack of impact rather than diminished physical abilities. Celtic's midfield is highlighted as a critical weakness.
