McGregor, who came through the Celtic academy and made his senior debut in July 2014, has made 576 appearances for the club to date and won 26 major trophies, including 11 Scottish Premiership titles, the last five in a row, as well as seven Scottish Cups and eight Scottish Football Cups. Despite rumors of a possible sale, he expresses his desire to continue to achieve success under O'Neill's leadership.

“They are all wonderful guys who gave everything for the club and the common cause last season,” McGregor said in an interview with club media, commenting on O’Neill’s return. “Especially the second time around, it would have been easy to stay on the sidelines, but they accepted the challenge. It shows what kind of people they are. They love challenges and face them head on. This is exactly what I am as a player and a person. So to see them back on the bench and everyone back together gives us confidence that we can move forward and create something special.”McGregor also thanked the fans for their support in Portugal and promised to meet them on Saturday at Paradise Stadium. Last season Celtic won a double trophy with the league title and Scottish Cup, with the title clinched with a dramatic victory over Hearts on the final day of the season. O'Neill has previously said he does not expect McGregor to leave the club and the 33-year-old captain insists he has not lost his passion for winning.

“It’s a Celtic player’s job not to get tired of winning,” he added. “We have set an incredible standard over the last 14 or 15 years, achieving success, winning numerous titles and trophies and always trying to deliver the best results in European football. And that creates high expectations and a big target on your back, so you have to work even harder to protect that success. The players and the core group who have been here for a long time understand this and they must maintain this level. As a Celtic player, you should never tire of winning and striving to be the best, as well as striving for individual and team improvement.

McGregor is likely to continue playing for Celtic in the coming season as he aims for more trophies under O'Neill. His experience and leadership will be important to the team, especially given the club's Scottish Premier League ambitions. Fans can expect him to be a key player in the upcoming matches.
