Luke McCowan to Celtic Latest

There are just hours until the summer transfer window slams shut and the situation surrounding Dundee’s captain Luke McCowan is heating up.

Despite Hibernian’s persistent interest, evidenced by their latest rejected bid of approximately £800,000, Celtic is also in the fray with an approach for the 26-year-old midfielder. [Sky Sport]

McCowan, who has started the season impressively with two goals and an assist in just three league matches, and an additional goal and five assists in five League Cup Games, has clearly demonstrated his value on the pitch.

With the transfer window closing at 11 pm tonight, the pressure is mounting for Celtic to make a decisive move if they wish to secure McCowan’s services for the season ahead.

Brendan Rodgers has made it clear that he wants another midfielder to join Arne Engles as a new deadline-day signing, and Luke McCowan could be that player.

A deal would be relatively easy to complete logistically, with the player already in the country.
