Celtic captain Callum McGregor has been presented with an award to celebrate him making 400 appearances for the Scottish champions.

The 29-year-old, who made his Hoops debut in 2014, reached the milestone during the recent 2-0 victory over Dundee United.

And ahead of the league fixture against Livingston, the Scotland international was presented with a special strip to acknowledge the landmark.

Hoops boss Ange Postecoglou praised McGregor recently, saying: "It is easy for any manager to talk about the culture they want but culture is about people.

"The people in the building need to live and breathe the behaviours that I, as a manager, want to instil into them.

"With Callum and I, there is a perfect alignment there because we believe in the same things.

"I did not need to guide him towards acting a certain way when I joined. I believe there should be certain traditions in the way a football club acts, and for me, if there is any resistance there then it becomes a more difficult task.

"He is a vital cog in what we have built here and are building here. I believe that his best football is ahead of him and that is exciting for him and the football club."

Meanwhile, former Celtic striker Jack Aitchison has signed for Motherwell on a permanent deal from Barnsley.

The Hoops academy graduate made history by becoming the Hoops' youngest-ever goalscorer after netting against Motherwell in 2016.

He was only 16 at the time. However, the forward struggled to break into the first-team after the arrival of Brendan Rodgers.

Aitchinson would only make a further two appearances for the Parkhead side before eventually departing the Scottish champions in 2020 to join Barnsley. 

The 22-year-old has had loan spells at Stevenage and Forest Green Rovers during his time down south.
