Celtic Football Club also praised the post and wrote: “Hail Hail.”
Hoops fans went into overdrive as the post amassed 4,000 comments.
Celtic fans have previously shown their support for McGregor at Parkhead.
As reported by the Evening Times in August, the Green Brigade unfurled a huge banner in the stands, dedicated to the sportsman.
It read: “We’re not here to take part. We’re here to take over!”
McGregor’s Hoops jersey post comes just days after he posed for a selfie with ex-Glasgow girl Michelle Mone.
Many followers hit back at the picture with the 46-year-old, mum-of-three. One wrote: “She hasn’t done Scotland proud.”
