Luke mccowan tells all on his first words to lyall cameron after rangers move

HIS OLD DUNDEE PAL WILL BE ACROSS THE CITY DIVIDE NEXT SEASON - BUT THAT FRIENDSHIP WILL GO OUT THE WINDOW WHEN IT COMES TO ACTION 22:30, 30 May 2025 Luke McCowan admits he was a Jota fanboy

when the Portuguese winger returned to Parkhead. But now it’s the entire Celtic squad supporting the Portuguese ace on his long road back from a cruciate injury. Winger Jota faces being out

until 2026, but McCowan said: “Regardless of how long it is, we’ll just keep making sure his mental state is always in the right place. “He’s a good character, a very lively, influential

person. “I think he thought I was a wee bit of a fanboy when I first came in, because I was kidding on to him that I was going to get a few ‘Jota 7’ tops off him! “But no, he’s been perfect.

“That’s what this club creates, friendships through different countries, different cultures. It’s a special place.” McCowan is recharging the batteries after his first season in the Hoops

just after he’d done it. I said ‘just to let you know, this will be the last time I speak to you!’. “No, Lyall is a good player. I’ve seen him come through at Dundee, going on loan to places
