# Celtic: Fans react to Callum McGregor’s praise of Patryk Klimala

**Callum McGregor’s recent comments about his Celtic team-mate Patryk Klimala have elicited plenty of reaction from some of the club’s supporters.**

As per [Daily Record](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/callum-mcgregor-details-patryk-klimalas-22253607), and as shared by [@celticbible](https://twitter.com/celticbible/status/1276282925617745920) on Twitter, the Scottish midfielder said that the 21-year-old striker has returned from lockdown “looking in great condition” and praised the physical work that the Pole appears to have put in over recent weeks.

Klimala joined the Hoops back in January for a reported £3.5m (as per [The Scottish Sun](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/5163857/celtic-transfer-news-patryk-klimala-complete/)) but, even prior to the shutdown of Scottish football in March, he had little opportunity to make an impression under Neil Lennon. The Polish striker has made just four appearances so far for Celtic, three of which were as a substitute, and he has so far managed the grand total of 101 minutes of action for the Premiership champions (as per [TransferMarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/patryk-klimala/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/387153/verein/371)).

However, with the Hoops’ 2019/20 [top scorer](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/celtic-glasgow/leistungsdaten/verein/371) Odsonne Edouard recently being [linked with a move to Arsenal](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/arsenal-transfer-news-odsonne-edouard-hints-celtic-stay-a4465591.html), the Parkhead club may yet find their resolve in trying to keep the Frenchman being tested by other clubs. If he were to leave, that could present Klimala with the chance to step into the breach.
