Former Celtic striker Frank McAvennie has exclusively told Football FanCast that he wants Callum McGregor to stay at Parkhead, but admitted he's good enough to play in the Premier League.

Likes many of his Celtic teammates, McGregor's form has dipped this season, although he's still started every Scottish Premiership match, and has worn the captain's armband in the absence of Scott Brown.

With Brown moving on at the end of the campaign, McGregor would be the obvious choice to take the armband on a full-time basis, but the midfielder has been strongly linked away from Parkhead.

Reports earlier this month have suggested that McGregor's former manager and current Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers is plotting a summer move for the midfielder, which would see the pair reunite following their stint in Glasgow.

McGregor is currently tied down to a long-term contract at Celtic, although McAvennie told Football FanCast that he's the only Celtic man that's capable of making the step up to the Premier League:

"At the moment he's the only one that could make it in the Premier League. We don't know if he wants to leave or not, but it's never come out too much about McGregor.

"He's not played well since he got the captaincy, but I think he's a wonderful talent and I want him to stay."
