Luke McCowan Dundee to Celtic deadline day transfer complete

Celtic have completed the signing of Luke McCowan.

The Dundee captain has joined his boyhood club on a three-year-deal. It's believed Celtic reached an agreement with a £1m offer plus add-ons.

Brendan Rodgers has been a busy manager on deadline day with three signings in the shape of McCowan, Arne Engels and Auston Trusty.

The midfielder is viewed as a replacement squad player for Tomoki Iwata, who departed the champions for Birmingham City.

The 26-year-old was a standout in the Scottish Premiership last season, as Tony Docherty's side finished in the top six.

Hibs had four bids rejected for the midfielder, with their top offer of £800,000 made today for the player with less than a year left on his deal.

Of the deal Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers told the official Celtic website: "We are really happy to welcome Luke to Celtic.

"He is a player with great ability, energy and commitment and we are sure he will be a very positive addition to our squad."
