Callum McGregor plots Celtic road ahead as Brendan Rodgers car Q&A gets his skipper thinking
The skipper isn't planning on hanging up his boots any time soon but his manager was keen to know what the future looks like Callum McGregor still has plenty in the tank at Celtic but the car journey up from the airport in Milan to the Hoops camp at Lake Como has got the skipper thinking about the road ahead, w rites Michael Gannon in Como It might have been turning 32-year-old in June, or it might have just been the chance to pick the brains of his boss Brendan Rodgers for the hour journey, but the playmaker arrived in town with thoughts of the future on his mind. Let's get one thing straight. McGregor is going nowhere any time soon. He missed just three games all of last season and showed no signs of his sky high standards slipping. The midfielder has also returned to pre-season looking like a Rolls Royce, running the show against Newcastle United at the weekend. Yet McGregor knows at some point he'll reach a fork in the road but this is a guy who has built a career seeing what is coming around corners. He said: 'We just got chatting in the car about different things. We talk about football all the time anyway. 'He was asking what I fancy doing after I finish playing, not that he was trying to retire me or anything! That's still a few years down the line. 'But I've always been involved in football, it's pretty much all I know. And I want to continue to be involved in that, whether that be coaching or managing. 'You don't quite know what's in store for you. I certainly want to stay in football. The next progression would be to do my badges and see how I like it. Then you just never know from there. 'But in terms of the chat with the manager, I think we often take things for granted. 'I was there staring the car with the gaffer on the way to the stadium and this is a guy who managed Liverpool and managed at Leicester and Celtic. 'That's invaluable information that people may never get to listen to. Even if nothing comes of it, there was a conversation that gave me an opportunity to learn. 'The conversation was one that not many people would ever get access to. 'He's got a very mentorship style, he loves helping players. 'He did that with me when we first met each other. 'It's been an amazing relationship and something that's been nurtured over time. We have a really good understanding with each other and what makes us tick is very similar. 'Over time the relationship grows and grows and I am really thankful to have someone like that in my career to try and help me as much as he can.' McGregor will keep his foot down as a player for the foreseeable though. He said: 'You just never know. I am going to continue to play and push my body as much as I possibly can. But at some point, that day will come. 'You want to be ready for that so you can decide what you do next. 'I think I missed three games last year. I feel good. I know what my body needs and I just keep churning out games.' Some games hurt more than others though, and the Scottish Cup Final was a sore one for the skipper. McGregor missed from the spot and was left in tears after losing his first ever final since he was a school kid. It's not a feeling he is used to and not one he wants to get used to. He said: 'I think everyone now knows, if they didn't know before, just how much it means to me. 'With the position you're in, you take the pressure, you take the responsibility. And it goes all the way through your life. 'You can't just switch it off. 'So it's a big pressure, but it's something I like and it's something I've thrived under and been successful more often than not. 'But when you have a sore one, it's a reminder of how you need to keep pushing, keep learning and keep getting better. 'And you hopefully minimise those down days. 'With someone like the manager, when something like that happens, you feel like you've let him down. 'You also feel like you've let the team, down and the you've let the club down. 'Like I say, you hold that responsibility so you can't just switch it off. You feel responsible in the good days and you feel responsible in the bad days as well. 'That's something I'm quite proud of, that I take so much pride in what I'm doing.' McGregor hit the beach after Hampden but it was family rallying round that eventually helped him off of his gloom. He said: 'You don't start enjoying your holiday, probably, until a couple of weeks after it. 'My family and the people close to me, they are there to support me in those times. They love you unconditionally of course, no matter what happens in the football pitch. 'Having their support in the immediate aftermath was very important because they're the ones who pick you back up and level you off. 'You're as low as can be, really. 'It's my whole life, it's my profession. It's what I pride myself on. So when you have a bad day you can't help but carry it with you for days and days and days. 'I think people think that we're robots. 'But we're not robots, we're human beings. And I think if anybody didn't know how much this club means to me before, then they probably do now. 'You can't turn the tap on and off. It's a 24 hour thing that you live with every single day. 'And my job is to make this club successful. So when that doesn't happen you feel responsible.'

Liverpool transfer news: Hugo Ekitike details in full as Rodrygo stance emerges
Hugo Ektike is officially a Liverpool player and the focus has turned to who the Reds' next signing will be, having already splashed out almost £300million this summer He's here: Hugo Ekitike is officially a Liverpool player. The Reds confirmed their seventh summer signing on Wednesday evening, all while Arne Slot's squad were asleep out in Hong Kong. Liverpool are due to face Italian giants AC Milan on Saturday at the Kai Tak Stadium. The match will kick-off at 12:30pm UK time, giving Ekitike a race against the clock to make his debut. The departed Eintracht Frankfurt star will join Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, Giorgi Mamardashvili, Armin Pecsi and Freddie Woodman as newcomers to the Premier League champions. Ekitike's arrival means that Liverpool have now spent almost £300million on new signings during the summer transfer window, although Anfield chiefs could recoup a decent chunk of that sum by sanctioning a number of big-money exits. They'll all be hoping to play a role in the Reds' title defence which begins at home to Bournemouth on Friday, August 15. But could they be joined by more new faces? Here's a round-up of the latest transfer news from Anfield. Ekitike details in full Liverpool announced the signing of Hugo Ekitike on Wednesday night after the French striker completed a medical in London. Ekitike, 23, has joined the Reds on a six-year contract after they agreed a £79m deal with Eintracht Frankfurt. The deal is comprised of a guaranteed £69m plus £10m in performance-related add-ons. Ekitike will join up with Liverpool's squad in Asia as they continue their pre-season tour. Rodrygo stance emerges Real Madrid star Rodrygo currently isn't an option for Liverpool if Luis Diaz leaves the club. The Reds rejected a £58.5m bid from Bayern Munich last week and the German giants are yet to submit an improved offer, despite reports that the Colombian winger remains their priority. It's been speculated that Liverpool could turn to Rodrygo if Diaz were to leave the club. However, the Athletic report that the 24-year-old isn't viewed as an option while Diaz has trained normally with his Liverpool team-mates in Hong Kong. Should Liverpool sign Rodrygo if Luis Diaz leaves? Have your say in the comments section. Zubimendi explains snub Martin Zubimendi has gone into detail on his decision to snub Liverpool for the first time since signing for Arsenal. Zubimendi, 26, joined the Gunners for £55.8m earlier this month, just one year after rejecting a move to Liverpool, who were willing to pay his release clause at Real Sociedad. "It wasn't an easy time," the Spanish midfielder admitted. "I wanted to stay at La Real, but when offers come in, you start thinking about your options. The first question I had to answer was whether I wanted to leave - and it wasn't the right time. I felt La Real offered me more opportunities and that I still had a lot to learn, so staying was the best decision."

Rodgers issues stark Celtic reminder over 'domination' poser
The Parkhead boss was quizzed on how his side have "dominated" domestically in recent years but rebuffed the suggestion. But Rodgers was quick to insist his side didn't seize a treble last season as he set out his demand to improve in the 2025/26 campaign. [[Celtic]] lifted the Scottish Premiership title and the League Cup trophy last season but lost on penalties to Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup final at Hampden. Despite a trophy-laden spell for Celtic in recent years, Rodgers voiced his confidence that his side would improve this season both in domestic and European action. Read more: "As a football club, we aim to improve every single season," said Rodgers when quizzed on domination in Scottish football. "We didn't dominate last year, we won two out of three trophies. "But also being in Europe and making sure we are competitive and challenging at that level is very important for us, consistently not just one season. "We believe we can be even better this season on the domestic front and also we can take those experiences that we have had over these last couple of seasons into Europe where we aim to perform very, very well. "Celtic is a huge club. You can never stand still. It moves at a really, really fast speed and you need to move with it and that is all abotu improving, all about developing. "And for me as a coach it is developing players to be the best they can be and hopefully then we see that in the team format."
