'An amazing journey': Luke McCowan thanks Dundee for helping him fulfil Celtic dream

In a heartfelt message to fans and staff, Luke McCowan has expressed his gratitude to Dundee FC after a whirlwind few days that culminated in a significant career move.

The talented midfielder made headlines on Friday night when he finalised a £1million transfer to Celtic on Deadline Day, only to make an immediate impact by debuting against Rangers in the highly anticipated first derby of the season less than 48 hours later.

Reflecting on the rapid changes in his life, McCowan took a moment to gather his thoughts and rest after an eventful weekend which included a 3-0 triumph over his new city rivals.

Once he had a chance to recharge, the 26-year-old turned to social media to share his appreciation for everyone connected to his former club.
