Scott Brown gets it wrong in his message to those Celtic fans ‘booing’ Callum McGregor

Writer Amir Mir argues that former Celtic captain Scott Brown is mistaken in defending current skipper Callum McGregor against fan criticism. Following three consecutive defeats under McGregor's captaincy, including a home loss to Rangers at Parkhead, Brown defended the 33-year-old midfielder by citing his loyalty and suggesting supporters should look at other squad members instead of targeting him.

Mir contends that while McGregor's commitment is unquestioned, his declining form means he should not start every match. The writer argues that manager Martin O'Neill should consider using McGregor more from the bench rather than deflecting scrutiny during a challenging upcoming schedule against Motherwell, Benfica, and Hearts.
