McGregor Urges Celtic to Combat Complacency After Loss

Celtic captain Callum McGregor has expressed frustration over the team's complacency following a 1-0 loss to bottom-of-the-table St Johnstone, marking their fourth domestic defeat in 2025. McGregor emphasized the need for his teammates to remain focused and avoid assuming victory is inevitable, stating that they must 'shake out of it' and perform better to secure the Scottish Premiership title. Manager Brendan Rodgers echoed these sentiments, criticizing the players for their mentality and lack of intensity in recent matches. Despite still holding a 13-point lead over Rangers, McGregor is determined to finish the season strongly, encouraging his team to 'sprint over the line' rather than wait for an easy win. He acknowledged that complacency has crept into their performances, a trend they need to correct immediately. The captain's call to action comes ahead of a crucial match against Kilmarnock, where a win could potentially solidify their championship status.
