CELTIC midfielder Callum McGregor has urged his teammates to continue their relentless streak after a sixth consecutive Ladbrokes Premiership title is secured.
The Hoops will be crowned champions of Scotland again this weekend if they beat Hearts at Tynecastle, although defeat for Aberdeen on Friday evening would also put their triumph beyond doubt.
But with two months of domestic action remaining, including a Scottish Cup semi-final against rivals Rangers, the 23-year-old has warned that the Bhoys can't afford to become complacent.

The midfielder, who made his 100th appearance for the Parkhead side during their last league outing against Dundee, praised manager Brendan Rodgers for his contribution to an outstanding season in which Celtic are yet to be beaten in domestic football.
“It’s been excellent and the manager’s always very detailed in his preparation for the training as well as matches,” McGregor told this week’s Celtic View.

“It gives us all a good insight into what’s going on behind the scenes, so that’s been great too.
“The manager’s always been excellent with me, the coaching staff as well - Chris Davies, John Kennedy and everyone really. It’s been so enjoyable to work with them.
“We need to keep being relentless, and every day coming into training we need to be at our best. It’s the only way you can achieve what we’re achieving. You need to work so hard every single day and give no more and no less, and if you do the right things hopefully that takes to where we want to be.
“The way the season’s gone already, it’s been a very good run. Once you get into touching distance of the kind of achievements that we see ahead of us, it really drives you on to fulfil your ambitions.”
