Callum McGregor reveals dream Celtic Champions League opponent and how fans can buy his 'CalMask'

There's a trip to Spain being eyed - and Celtic captain Callum McGregor already has tunes in mind for a potential trip abroad.

The Celtic captain is gearing up for a proud day on Sunday as he takes flag day duties during their Premiership opener against Aberdeen, which kicks off their defence of a title won in Ange Postecoglou's first season. That successful campaign brought guaranteed Champions League football and with it, the chance of glamour ties in Glasgow.

In a Q&A with Celtic fans via social media, McGregor has been providing an inside track ahead of the new campaign. Pressed on his music choices, the Hoops skipper opts for Gallagher brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher's tunes with Oasis over Damon Albarn's Blur. Returning to football, Real Madrid is named as the Parkhead academy product's dream opponents on the continent. A loan to Notts County helped McGregor build senior experience and he thinks about it 'often,' he says.

Playing in midfield with Tommy Burns is something he wishes he could've done, while his now famous mask following a facial injury earlier this year is to be signed and auctioned off.

It was dubbed 'CalMask' and he says ''I'm going to sign it and it will go to the Celtic Foundation to be auctioned off!'

A busy season awaits the Scotland international as he leads his team into a season where they'll look to build on last term's Premiership and League Cup double.
