MusaHE JUST LOST THE RESPECT RANGERS FANS ONCE HAD FOR HIM.
In a twist nobody expected after Saturday’s dramatic finish, Callum McGregor has stirred up a storm with comments that many Rangers supporters are calling “unnecessary, disrespectful, and shockingly out of character.”
Fans across Scottish football always believed McGregor was too calm, too composed, and too mature to let emotions get the better of him — but last night, it slipped out of his mouth.
And now, the fallout is intense.
Celtic’s late winner against St. Mirren sent Parkhead into chaos, and it clearly sent McGregor into the clouds.
But what was meant to be a light-hearted post-match remark turned into a wave of backlash. Rangers fans — who have always respected McGregor’s professionalism — instantly condemned the tone of his response after being questioned about Rangers fans’ complaints over the late winner.
According to supporters, his reply came off as toxic, especially in the heat of a title race where every word is magnified.
Rangers Fans Hit Back
Across social media, Rangers supporters voiced their disappointment, saying McGregor’s comments were:
“Unnecessary at this point in the season.”
“A completely different side of him.”
“He just lost the respect we had for him.”
Some fans even argued that Celtic’s late winner came after the allotted time — a point that has fuelled debates all weekend — and felt McGregor mocking the situation was adding “salt to an already open wound.”
What Happens Now?
While Celtic fans brushed the comments off as harmless banter, Rangers supporters insist McGregor crossed a line.
Whether he meant it or not, the captain’s reaction has become the headline — not the goal.
One thing is certain:
In a rivalry where every gesture is remembered, a single sentence can change how an entire fanbase sees you.
