"I don't think I'd be doing my job properly if I don't think that we had the edge," McGregor said.
"I see the Celtic team every day, I see how we train, I see what we've overcome already this season in terms of a little bit of adversity, changing manager twice, fought back from where we were, we were in a cup final, we're in another cup final.

"So I see enough signs that the team want to win, they can do enough to win.
"Generally when the team have been under pressure they've managed to produce big results, so hopefully we can do that over the next five games.
"We've scored a lot of late goals, so that tells you the mentality is there to keep going and keep going.
"I never went into training one day and thought that we were gone. I never ever looked inside the dressing room and seen the players and seen the way that they were and the one thing that struck me was everyone still thinks we can do this and that has been such an important thing.
"I don't think anyone can point the finger at the resilience of the group or the character of the group. I think that's been there in abundance."

McGregor, who has won 24 major trophies with Celtic, was linked with a move to join former boss Brendan Rodgers at Saudi club Al Qadsiah in January.
But the 32-year-old insists he remains focused on winning more silverware with the Parkhead side.
"I've always said I want to be at this club.
"I've come through since I was eight years old. It's in my DNA. It's something I carry with me every single day. I want to be here.
"I just want to make sure that the club continue to push and want to be successful and want to drive.
"And obviously having conversations with the guys upstairs, that is something they want to do. So for me, then this is the place I want to play.

Asked if he wanted to end his career at Celtic, he added: "Yeah. It's obviously twofold, where if the club think I've got something to offer, and then obviously the club, like I said there, they want to keep pushing, they want to keep being successful.
"The one thing you do get when you're at this club is when you have a taste of success, you want to keep it.
"And you want it every single year and you want to keep pushing and trying to play at the highest level you can."
