Celtic Fan Favourite Spotted at Friday Night Derry City Match
Celtic midfielder Luke McCowan was in attendance at the Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium on Friday night as Derry City played out a 1-1 draw with Bohemians in the League of Ireland.
The former Ayr United man, who joined the Hoops from Dundee at the end of the summer transfer window, has quickly become a fan favourite at Parkhead despite still waiting for his first comPetitive start under Brendan Rodgers.
McCowan had featured in Wednesday’s friendly against Sligo Rovers, where he played the full 90 minutes as Celtic secured a late win. His appearance back in Ireland just two days later has sparked interest among fans, with a picture surfacing of the 26-year-old in the stands at Derry’s home ground:

Since he arrived in Glasgow, McCowan has been working hard to break into the Celtic team.
His performances and limited cameos have impressed supporters, and there’s growing anticipation that he could get more consistent Game time in the near future.
With Celtic entering a gruelling run of seven matches in just 21 days, McCowan will be hoping to catch Rodgers’ eye and secure a spot in the starting 11.
While some might wonder why McCowan was at the Brandywell, it’s not unusual for players to take in Games on their time off, especially given the proximity to Celtic’s midweek match.
For now, McCowan remains focused on pushing for his first comPetitive start as Celtic’s fixture list intensifies in both domestic and European comPetitions.
