Callum McGregor has hailed Brendan Rodgers' "Midas touch" after Celtic's Scottish Cup triumph at Hampden. The Hoops skipper was full of praise for his manager's tactical nous, which he said had been key to the team's success this season. "The manager has been brilliant," said McGregor. "He's come in and changed the way we play. He's got us playing with a lot more confidence and belief. He's a top manager and he's been a massive part of our success this season." McGregor was also full of praise for his teammates, who he said had shown great character to come back from a goal down against Motherwell in the final. "The boys showed great character today," said McGregor. "We went a goal down but we never gave up. We kept fighting and eventually we got the goals we needed. It's a great feeling to win the Scottish Cup and I'm delighted for everyone involved." Rodgers was also delighted with his team's performance, saying that they had deserved to win the Scottish Cup. "I'm very proud of the players," said Rodgers. "They showed great character and determination to come back from a goal down. We were the better team on the day and we deserved to win." Celtic's victory means that they have now won the Scottish Cup for the fourth time in a row. They are also on course for a treble this season, as they are still in contention for the Scottish Premiership title and the Scottish League Cup.
