The Hoops captain made sure the deadline day addition had freedom to relish Rangers cameo
Callum McGregor showed Luke McCowan the way and insisted the new Celtic star instantly followed the lead.
“I just said to him, ‘Go and play, you’ve got massive quality, just go and run about, I’ll be with you, so let’s just go’. He was fantastic when he came on. To be thrown into a game like that, big expectation, big pressure, he was excellent. Engels, the club’s record arrival, caught the eye as McGregor agreed and said: “Yeah, absolutely. t’s always good for the new guys, their first experience to be a positive one. Obviously all the boys who come in and make their debut in this fixture, they’ll go away with a good feeling and understand what it’s about. They were first class, really enjoyed it and it was a strong performance. Hopefully, that’s a nice way to bed them in.
“The boys will tell you when you score in this fixture, it’s probably as good a feeling as you’ll get in football. I’m absolutely delighted. But the most important thing is the team, how we played and the result. Excellent, I thought. McGregor will now rest up for the international break, having retired from Scotland duty in the wake of the Euros, and return for a hectic spell including the start of a Champions League tilt. He’s excited, of course he is, and added: “Obviously it busies up, fighting on all fronts and we want to do well on all fronts.
