Luke McCowan’s performance in Celtic’s 5-0 demolition of Ross County has earned him the Star Man accolade in the SPFL Team of the Week.
The midfielder was in imperious form at Parkhead, delivering a goal and three assists in what was arguably his finest outing in a Celtic shirt.

The summer signing from Dundee showed exactly why Brendan Rodgers brought him to Celtic Park, combining flair, creativity, and hard work to devastating effect.
McCowan’s contributions ensured Celtic wrapped up the game by halftime, scoring all five goals before the interval and cruising to a dominant win.
McCowan’s performance adds to the wealth of options available to Rodgers in midfield. With the likes of Paulo Bernardo, Arne Engels, Callum McGregor, and Reo Hatate all competing for starting spots, McCowan has shown he is ready to stake his claim for more regular inclusion.
As Celtic prepare for a crucial clash against Aberdeen at Pittodrie, McCowan’s form offers Rodgers yet another reliable option in an already stacked midfield. With five points separating the Hoops from second-placed Aberdeen, McCowan’s contributions could prove vital in extending their lead at the top of the Premiership table.
Whether or not McCowan will start back-to-back games for Celtic remains to be seen.
