Luke McCowan, a lifelong Celtic supporter, shared an emotional story during a special event between Celtic and JD, where a select group of fans had the opportunity to put questions to some of the players in attendance. McCowan, who joined Celtic from Dundee in the summer transfer window, delivered a heartfelt moment that resonated with every fan in the room.

When asked about how he found out he was going to be a Celtic player, McCowan recalled the life-changing moment that happened on transfer deadline day. In what sounded like a scene straight out of a football fan’s dream, the winger explained how Dundee boss Tony Docherty summoned him into his office and extended his hand. “You’re going to be a Celtic player,” Docherty told him.

For McCowan, it was a dream realised – and the emotions quickly overwhelmed him. “I thing I started greetin’,” he admitted, describing himself as “a bit of a mess” in that moment. Having grown up as a die-hard Celtic fan, both he and his family had always dreamed of this day, at times, he must have had feared the opportunity might never come.

Now, with that dream firmly in his grasp, McCowan has already made his mark at the club, even opening his goal-scoring account for the Hoops. His journey from dreaming of playing for Celtic to becoming a fully-fledged member of the squad is a story that has clearly struck a chord with fans, who see Luke as living everyone of our dreams

For the supporters lucky enough to hear Luke’s story first-hand, it was a powerful reminder of what playing for Celtic means – not just for the players but for the fans who live and breathe every moment. McCowan’s rise to playing in the famous green and white is a dream come true, and a moment that will stay with him and the fans for a long time to come.
