Celtic FC captain and midfielder Callum McGregor has allegedly found himself at the centre of an emotional family story involving a reported DNA test concerning his first child, Eva Shankland.
According to the claim circulating online, the alleged result left the long-serving Celtic midfielder deeply upset. However, there is currently no reliable evidence confirming that McGregor took such a DNA test, nor that the claims about his wife or child are true. A search for recent credible reports did not produce confirmation of the story.
The rumour has nevertheless attracted attention because of McGregor’s prominent position at Celtic. As captain, he has become one of the club’s most recognisable figures, and supporters have reacted with concern to the unverified reports.
The original social-media-style claim also suggests that McGregor made an announcement concerning his wife. No verified statement from McGregor or his representatives confirming those allegations has been identified.
For now, Celtic supporters should treat the story with caution. Personal and family matters are extremely sensitive, particularly when they involve children, and unverified social-media claims should not be presented as established fact.
