LAST SEASON, Callum McGregor lifted three trophies as Celtic captain. Over the past week or so, he’s been copping some flak for his recent performances as the champions have exited the League Cup and drawn at home to a struggling St Johnstone side.
“Can I believe he’s being criticised? Yeah, I can believe it, because this is Celtic and you are only as good as your last game,” Lambert said.“He’s been brilliant for Celtic, but as soon as you get a couple of bad results then people will start asking ‘what is the matter with him?’ or saying ‘that pass wasn’t good enough.’
“You are there to be shot at and you have to be able to handle that side of it. He has handled it brilliantly throughout his career, so after one or two bad games, I wouldn’t think it would bother him. He’ll take it on the chin and just play his normal game. If they are going to emerge from that test without suffering another morale-sapping result, Lambert believes that McGregor’s leadership will be vital.“He is going to have to perform, like the rest of the lads, in a difficult place with none of their own fans there. They are going to have to play through that.
“Every game with Celtic was big anyway when I played, but especially with the Rangers team we played against you knew you had to be up for it, because they were a right good side.“The two of us were good teams, to be honest with you, and we were big enough mentally to handle the importance of those games.
“The structure will be strong at Celtic because of the success they have had in recent years and because of the Champions League money and transfer revenue.
