Luke McCowan to Celtic transfer is ON as fee revealed with Dundee star racing to beat the deadline day clock
dailyrecord.co.ukCeltic have agreed a deal with Dundee to sign their captain Luke McCowan. It comes after Scottish Premiership rivals Hibs saw a series of bids for the midfielder rejected - with Easter Road boss David Gray been desperate to land the Dundee midfielder throughout the summer.
