Callum McGregor views his versatility as a help rather than a hindrance as he battles for a place at Celtic, starting with today’s clash with Dundee.

Boss Brendan Rodgers has employed the 23-year-old in a number of positions this season, including left-back.

McGregor, who came through the Hoops youth system, admits to having a preference for central midfield but is more concerned with getting game time.

The former Scotland Under-21 player came off the bench to score in the 4-3 win at Motherwell and also in the 4-1 win at Partick Thistle which earned him a start in Tuesday night’s 1-0 win over Hamilton at Parkhead.

And ahead of the visit of Dundee in the Premiership today, he said: “It has been good to get my first couple of goals of the season and make an impact on the team.

“If you can play a few different positions obviously it helps you to get into the team and I would play anywhere to get a game.

“People have different opinions on it but ultimately, if you can play a few different positions when the team is getting picked I think it is a wee bit of a help.

“I would rather play central but you would play anywhere to get into the team.”
