Celtic’s meeting with Dundee tonight is a significant occasion for Luke McCowan, who will face his former club for the first time since leaving for Parkhead in the summer.
After his £1 million move to the Bhoys from Dens Park, the 26-year-old has taken to his new environment like a duck to water amid a series of impressive displays under Brendan Rodgers
Earning his first start last weekend, Luke McCowan opened the scoring for Celtic at Motherwell to help his side run out convincing 3-0 winners at Fir Park
Speaking ahead of the Hoops’ clash against Dundee tonight, Rodgers signalled McCowan has been unlucky not to get more Celtic starts, detailing that he alongside others have been denied purely due to the imperious form of his side.
Considering the adjustment the midfielder has had to make in such a short space of time, he has dealt admirably with the step-up to featuring for the Scottish Premiership champions.
With tonight’s game under the lights set to be an emotional one for McCowan, Tony Docherty has delivered his verdict on his start at Parkhead.
