Andy Irving has been linked, along with McCowan, who has been a standout for his side over the past few seasons.

The BBC recently reported that the Scottish champions had tabled a bid for the 26-year-old, and it is now being reported that the Hibees have done so.

Sky Sports’ Anthony Joseph states on X that the Leith side have offered Dundee a fee in excess of £750,000 for McCowan, which would be a club record.

Whether it is accepted or not remains to be seen but one assumes, if they wanted, Celtic could swoop in and make a deal happen.

The Scot would be a wise addition to Brendan Rodgers’ squad, but it remains to be seen how things will pan out over the next four hours.
