Judged on this season alone, McGregor graded 38 — a strong campaign that ranks top 20% of the 40 defensive midfielders in the Premiership, on 2 goals, 3 assists and 2.983 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 48 → 38). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 22, 32nd of 40 of the 40 defensive midfielders in the Premiership. At 33 McGregor is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.8 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Celtic finished 3rd of 12 · an upper-table side
2.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 37 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 12) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 93.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 21.5, McGregor carries the 32nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premiership of 40. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
