\u201cThere were wee bits of speculation flying about but once the manager spoke to me, there was never a question for me of moving away.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s always been Celtic for me and I\u2019ve been happy here. The last two and a half years have been incredible. We have achieved some history at the club and we want to keep going.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve been here since I was a kid, from nine years old, so it\u2019s pretty much all I\u2019ve known in terms of football.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cWhen you look at the stature of this club, it\u2019s one of the biggest institutions in world football. To be a part of that, to be privileged enough to play in front of those fans at a club of this size – you can\u2019t take a decision to leave that lightly. Even for the Premier League.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cI only signed my last contract in September last year, so it\u2019s been quick to get a new one. It\u2019s a bit of surprise. I\u2019ve just been concentrating on playing football and trying to do my best for the team.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n MacGregor has developed into a fine footballer, and is testament to what can be achieved with hard work and dedication. That might sound like a cliche, but its not so long that the lad had delusions of granduer and a few behavioural issues that led to a drink drive conviction and a reputation as a billy big time.<\/p>\n He then adjusted his own environment, screwed the nut, as they say, and is now undoubtedly the top midfield player in the country. To suggest that he is even a candidate to replace a club legend is high praise indeed, and with the security of a new deal in his locker, we can look forward to much, much , from a likeable and unassuming young man.<\/p>\n After he announced his new contract, he promptly went off to the Celtic foundation christmas bash, showing that not only does he talk about his love for the club, he does his bit for everything it stands for as well.<\/p>\n Speaking of the Foundation, and they do a tremendous amount of work at this time of year, they could use a spre couple of quid if you have it..<\/p>\n Celtic FC Foundation\u2019s Christmas Appeal aims to Make Dreams Come True this Christmas and help those on our doorstep who need it most. We want to help hundreds of local families facing poverty, giving them the kind of Christmas most of us take for granted, with lots of food on the table and gifts for the kids, and making sure Santa pays a visit on Christmas Eve.<\/em><\/p>\n We also want to support pensioners on our doorstep, by lending a hand at a difficult time of year. Local charities need our help too. We can make a massive difference to the lives of children, the homeless, those living in refuge, refugees and those facing other challenges.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Celtic FC Foundation Chief Executive, Tony Hamilton said: \u201cMy thanks firstly to the people who have made events like this possible. Without the Celtic support at home and abroad, we would not be able to do any of the things we\u2019ve done this Christmas.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThese events are brilliant for kids. That\u2019s the spirit of Christmas and events like these, helping families and helping marginalised groups and individuals is why we ask for support every year. It was great to see Callum and Mikey there too.<\/em><\/p>\n “We rely heavily on the support of the football department and I\u2019m very grateful they found the time through such a busy schedule. We\u2019re very close to the end of this year\u2019s Appeal but there\u2019s still plenty to do and plenty ways which people can help.”<\/em><\/p>\n The support received so far for the Appeal has been overwhelming but there\u2019s still time to get involved.
