Player to watch: Callum McGregor
We believe having McGregor as the player to watch in our top Sligo Rovers vs Celtic prediction is the right call. After all, he is the visitors’ leading goalscorer in the Scottish Premiership. Despite being a simple midfielder, McGregor still managed to bag four goals for his team since the start of the domestic league campaign.
