Callum McGregor insists he sees his future at Celtic and wants to win the league "in a bit more style" this term. The club endured on‑and‑off‑field problems last season, with O’Neill recalled from retirement and the supporters’ protests over spending and the loss to Kairat Almaty in the Champions League.

McGregor praised the group that pulled the team through a tough season, describing them as people who would go to the death for each other. He stresses that the new-look squad will aim for the same level of style, with work already underway in pre‑season.

Significant departures include Japan forward Daizen Maeda to Ipswich Town and striker Kelechi Iheanacho to Bursaspor, while goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has retired. Several loanees have returned to their parent clubs.

To strengthen the forward line, Celtic have signed Camilo Duran and record signing Kasper Hogh, both with Champions League pedigree, under O’Neill’s guidance.
