Although he did well on loan, with 12 league goals in 37 appearances, he was uncertain whether he had a future at the Scottish club when Deila was hired.
He told the Daily Record, he believes the first pre-season training camp was crucial for his development
“In Austria two years ago he went round all the players trying to get a feel for what we were like as people.We had a wee chat, just for 20 minutes, about my time down at Notts County. Maybe he liked what I had to say. I had a good start to pre-season and was flying at that time.”
He says that he owes Deila for saving his career at Celtic when he believed it might be over:
“At that time I thought my Celtic career might be over. Obviously we didn’t know who was coming in and I was a bit apprehensive when I came back from Notts County. I had done well on loan so I hoped whoever came in would give me a chance.”
His development in the last two years he credits to the Norwegian:
“I’ve always said that he’s a great guy, we get on well and that probably stems from Austria. It has developed from there. We’ve kept talking and had a lot of chats over the two years. There has been good and bad stuff but we’ve always spoken about how I can improve.”
McGregor has played 31 times and scored six goals for the Bhoys this season, although 12 appearances have been from the bench.
He will need to make sure he impresses the manager that follows Deila after the Norwegian leaves Celtic this summer.
