McGregor says you have to take the criticism personally - and use it as fuel to improve.
By then Steve Clarke and his crestfallen players may have made history here after all, by taking four points from two remaining Group A games and doing just enough to become the most successful Scotland side in history. But even if they do go on to salvage redemption here in Germany, Callum McGregor will not allow himself to forget the pain and the suffering inflicted by Friday night’s visit to the torture chamber of the Allianz Arena.
“You get one opportunity in life and when it comes you want to try and grab it as much as you can. And when you have a disappointing day in your professional life or your personal life or whatever it is, it does stick with you. McGregor went on: “It was a long bus journey, for sure. Everybody was thinking the same thing. Scotland are relatively unknown in terms of the football world. So we came here to show that we are a good side. That’s why it’s so sore and we are now the only people who can fix it.
Asked if he might use that criticism as a motivation heading into Wednesday night’s showdown with the Swiss, McGregor nodded: “Yes, you do. I think if anyone has a pop at you, you take it personally and you try to prove them wrong. So, yeah.” McGregor acknowledged: “When you come to this level you have to have an element of control of the ball otherwise you just spend the whole night defending. “Like I say, you are playing against top players who can create moments of magic and that is why they are top players.
