Luke McCowan’s transfer to Celtic is a dream come true for the midfielder, who grew up supporting the Hoops.
In his first interview with Celtic TV, McCowan expressed a mix of disbelief and excitement over his move.
“It’s a bit surreal sitting here with the hoops on. I don’t even know how to put it into words. It’s just something I’ve been desperate to get done as soon as I knew they were interested. I’m desperate to get to work and show that I’m a player who can play for this club and hopefully help going forward.
“On the last day, I didn’t really know much about what was happening, just an enquiry here and there. Then come the final day, final hours and final minutes I think it was, it was getting done. I couldn’t care how it was getting done, but I’m here now and it’s been a good ride.”
Sky Sports captured a brilliant moment that showed McCowan totally over the moon while he walked out of the tunnel wearing the hoops on Friday night, not long after he signed his three-year deal.
He was the final signing of the window and the third of deadline day, after Auston Trusty and Arne Engles were also confirmed.
In the end, it was a good window from Celtic, it took time to get deals done, but some good business was carried out in the end.
