4739349There is a massive clamour for changes to be made to the Celtic side that faces Lincoln Red Imps on Wednesday.

Tuesday’s first leg defeat was a step too much for many supporters and a reminder that most of the under-performers with Ronny Deila are still with the club.

Even Kieran Tierney came in for some criticism when generally the teenager and Leigh Griffiths have been exempted from the fall out of previous disasters.

With the transfer window closed as far as this round is concerned Brendan Rodgers will have to work within the group that he inherited from Deila during the summer.

Midfield is the area where Rodgers has most options. Whether using three or four players there are plenty of possibilities to explore with many fans running out of patience with club captain Scott Brown.

Regardless of who is dropped surely there must be a place found for Callum McGregor. The midfielder made the breakthrough exactly two years ago but disappeared almost as quickly as he arrived on the scene.

Under Deila, McGregor scored away against Maribor and Legia Warsaw, in his comeback appearance last season he scored against Ajax but that strike was just another false dawn in a forgettable Europa League campaign.

His ability to pick out a shot and push forward with the ball could be priceless against the defensive banks of Lincoln Red Imps players.

There are plenty of moaners around when McGregor is selected but he has all the attributes to succeed either as a traditional central midfielder or pushing forward into attack where his scoring instinct in superior to any other midfielder that is available to Rodgers.
