Celtic midfielder Callum McGregor has won a call-up to the Scotland squad for next month’s clash with Germany.

The 21-year-old has been rewarded for an impressive start to the season which has seen him strike four times for the Scottish champions.

The news was confirmed by Scotland U-21 coach Billy Stark, who has seen him promoted from his squad.

“Andy Robertson has stepped up from the U-21s and now Callum McGregor,” Stark said.

“Whilst it has not been the most successful of campaigns, the other part of it is players going through.”

McGregor’s promotion comes weeks after his Celtic breakthrough.

The attacking midfielder has scored in each of Celtic’s three away Champions League qualifiers and made himself a key player in Ronny Deila’s early days as manager.
