Neil Lennon

says.

He only played for less than 20 minutes after

's match against

AC Milan

on 3 December.

Lennon said:

"He has had a really difficult time.

"Thinking about his health and wellbeing going forward it is probably the best thing to do. He has really struggled with life away from football and maybe some people don't understand at times."

He then wished him the best after confirming that the deal is almost completed.

 talked about the difficult situation that Celtic are dealing with and said that Celtic will become another

St Mirren

if the standards lower.

There is already a lot of pressure on Celtic in terms of performance and final results as McGregor believes.

He said:

"You are expected to win every game at Celtic, no matter what, no matter who the opponent is, and when you lose it is always a sort of shock result.

"Like the manager said, the performance wasn't good enough, we know that. Everyone was below par and it just shows you that's what can happen if you don't perform well on the day.

"In seasons gone past, that's why we have been so good and so consistent, you go into every game knowing you have to perform.

"So it just showed again that if you come off it or lose focus or you are not quite right on the day that you can get beat and it is always a bad result when you lose a game at Celtic and we totally deserved it.

He also mentioned the importance of staying calm and keeping up the good work for the club.
