Callum McGregor, born on 14 June 1993 in Scotland, occupies the position of a central defensive midfielder for Celtic. Standing at 5ft 10in (1.78m) and weighing 11st 9lb (74kg), he dons the jersey bearing the number 42. As of now, according to Transfermarkt, his market value hovers around £4m.
McGregor joined the Celtic ranks in the Scottish Premiership in July 2013. He has had a consistent presence in the Celtic first team since the 2014-2015 season, making numerous appearances and scoring an impressive number of goals season after season. And he hasn't stopped since. In the current season (2025-2026), he has made 26 starts and netted twice.
In August 2013, McGregor took a detour from Celtic to join Notts County in England's League Two on a loan; a move that saw him feature in 37 matches, banging in 12 goals during his debut season (2013- 2014). However, in July 2014, he made a switchback from Notts County to resume his Celtic career.
From his return onward, the central defensive midfielder has been a perennial figure in the Celtic first team, sealing dozens of appearances each season. His scoring prowess has also been evident, with the 2019-2020 season being his best in terms of goal tally, netting nine goals.
In the recently concluded 2025-2026 League Cup, McGregor managed to score one goal off four starts for Celtic. He also featured in the Scottish Cup, the Champions League Qualifiers, and in the Europa League for Celtic, garnering starts in each of these match-ups.
