Celtic captain Callum McGregor claims that his side don’t make things difficult for their opposition anymore, following a shock 2-0 defeat away to Dundee on Sunday.

The midfielder and his manager Brendan Rodgers have came under increased scrutiny as the Hoops failed to score in a game for the sixth time this season.

But the retired Scotland international insists the focus from him and his teammates is fully on how they can turn things around.

“You only win trophies if you’re together and you’re ready to fight, and you’re ready to run, and you minimise the amount of days like this” said McGregor.

“Because at this moment in time we’re too easy to play against.”

When asked if the squad were taking notice of Hearts, McGregor recognised their start to the campaign but is relishing the Bhoy’s trip to Tynecastle on Sunday.

“I think we have enough to be getting on with ourselves.

“Obviously Hearts are winning games but the great thing is we get to play them next week, obviously they’ll be full of confidence.

“But like I said for us, we’ve so much work to be done and so much that we have to look at ourselves internally first before we can even lift our head and look at anyone else.”

The Celtic skipper also stressed how important the job of the players is to bring back a sense of unity at the club.

“I get the supporters are frustrated, they’re angry, and again a lot of that comes down to the fact that the performances aren’t there. If we can affect the performances then hopefully the noise will get less.

“I think there’s a lot of disharmony, which can make it difficult for a club like this that is so used to winning.

“It’s great when you are winning games. From the outside it looks easy, it’s not easy. The reason why we win so many games is because we work so hard.

“If you come off the boil slightly, and you’re not quite there and that disharmony is there, then it can be a difficult place to play football. Our job in the changing room is to try and make the team as strong as it possibly can be.”

Celtic travel to Tynecastle to take on Hearts this Sunday, as the title holders look to cut the Jambos five point lead at the top.
