McGregor will be 35 when his latest deal expires and Rodgers is convinced he can add plenty of medals to his record-breaking haul of 20 already in his collection.

Rodgers said: “Callum’s the heartbeat of this team.

“He’s taken on the responsibility of being captain of a worldwide institution with great effect and we’ll look to continue that development.
