Four-time loser aims to put an end to Celtic pain.

Published

on

LUKE McCOWAN was a four-time loser in Celtic’s games against Dundee last season.

Why Luke McCowan would be a sensible signing for Celtic

The midfielder suffered as he finished second best in all four meetings between the teams, including a 7-1 thrashing at Parkhead the previous time the two sides met in February.

 

McCowan was part of the team that lost 3-0 at the same venue in September of last year, and Brendan Rodgers’ side repeated the result at Dens Park on Boxing Day.

 

That was followed by a goal avalanche in Glasgow’s east end after the turn of the year, and the 26-year-old Greenock-born midfielder brought an end to a string of setbacks on Tayside in April with a double from James Forrest, giving the Hoops a 2-1 win and keeping the champions on track for a third consecutive title.

Celtic deadline day signing Luke McCowan arrives at Parkhead after joining  from Dundee.

However, four months later, McCowan’s football fortunes were turned upside down when he joined his boyhood heroes for a bargain £1 million transfer from Dundee on transfer deadline day.

The energetic operator made his first start for his dream team in a 3-0 win over Motherwell at Fir Park over the weekend, and he marked the occasion by scoring the opening goal.

McCowan, who will miss Saturday’s Premier Sports League Cup semi-final against Aberdeen due to a Cup tie, is hoping to be given the go-ahead by his manager to start against his former teammates tonight.

 

And the wholehearted operator, who is a favourite with the Celtic faithful, is hoping to reverse last season’s painful trend and emerge victorious from Paradise.

Good luck, Luke!
