Callum McGregor rallies Celtic ahead of Premier Sports Cup clash

Celtic captain Callum McGregor has called on his team to maintain composure during today's Premier Sports Cup quarter-final at Ibrox. The midfielder emphasized the need for the squad to focus on their tactical game plan rather than the intensity of the atmosphere. Celtic enters the match without away supporters in attendance, a situation McGregor described as disappointing while noting the team remains fully aware of the fixture's significance. Manager Martin O’Neill has been credited with providing a calming influence throughout the lead-up to the knockout game. New players on the roster have received briefings from the captain regarding the challenges associated with the stadium. The match is scheduled for a noon kickoff as both sides compete for a place in the next round of the tournament.
