“I’ve Heard…” – Former Celtic Hero Gives Luke McCowan Lennoxtown Insight

Luke McCowan is proving himself to be a shrewd acquisition for Celtic, with the new midfielder earning high praise from team insiders for his immediate impact in training.

He already has a goal under his belt, and impressed fans with his few appearances so far. He’ll likely get a chance from the start against Falkirk on Sunday.

Despite the spotlight on Arne Engels as the marquee midfield signing this season, McCowan, who arrived from Dundee on deadline day for £1 million, has quickly shown his mettle.

Tony Watt, a former Celtic striker, shared insights on The Warm Up podcast about McCowan’s integration into the team.

According to Watt, feedback from both Dundee colleagues and current Celtic players is overwhelmingly positive, noting that McCowan does not seem out of place at all at Lennoxtown.

He said:  “I’ve heard a lot of good things. A lot of boys from Dundee are saying he’ll go there and do well. And whoever I’ve spoken to that’s trained with him since signing says he doesn’t look out of place.”

A player like McCowan is essential to have in. As cliche as the saying is, he gets it. Having someone with his experience in the league, and knows what is required to play for Celtic is great to have for some of the younger and more inexperienced players who will walk through the door.

He’s not going to start week in and week out, but he’s already shown from off the bench and shown that he can make an impact.
