With the transfer window set to close in two weeks, Celtic still have a bit of work to do to strengthen key areas of the team.
The additions of Adam Idah, Paulo Bernardo, Kasper Schmeichel and Viljami Sinisalo have all been welcomed by the Celtic support, however, it is widely accepted that Celtic still require another striker, a left-back and possibly a midfielder should Matt O’Riley decide to leave the
One midfielder who has been linked to a move to Celtic is Dundee midfielder, Luke McCowan. The Dens Park club are said to be waiting for a bid from Celtic for the 26-year-old and former Hoops striker, Andy Walker, believes he is good enough to play for his old club.
Luke McCowan has Ryan Christie ‘potential’
McCowan has been a huge hit at Dens Park and as Hibs ramp up their effort to buy the midfielder, Walker believes the Dundee man is good enough to play for O’Riley Rodgers’ Celtic.
Walker told The Go Radio Football Show, “Do you know, he reminds me a lot about Ryan Christie and the type of potential that he showed at Inverness.
“You remember he went to Aberdeen on loan and then Celtic went in and got him and he developed into such a good player and eventually went to Scotland and had a lot of success at Celtic before going down south. Luke McCowan, I think he’s got the same type of temperament.
“I like the way he plays. He’s a forward-thinking, attacking midfielder. I think he’s got a bit of imagination and obviously he’s done really well with Dundee.
The Celtic fans will expect the club to add more players for the upcoming Champions League campaign and whilst they have no idea whether McCowan could play at that level, the midfielder would help towards the club’s home-grown quota.
With Celtic having cash to burn and Dundee looking for £1m for the midfielder, this could be a no-brainer move by the club to add reinforcements this late into the transfer window.
Brendan Rodgers is undoubtedly looking to add more than the current four players he has already recruited this summer as the Celtic boss aims to defend his Scottish Premiership title.
