So, Luke McCowan, the Celtic player, he’s out here saying that Sunday’s game against Rangers isn’t just some ‘dead rubber’. Even though Celtic already won the league title, they still want to win against their rivals at Ibrox. I mean, they did beat Dundee United and secure their fourth Premiership crown, but they’ve been struggling against Rangers lately. They won the League Cup Final on penalties, but lost the last two derbies. McCowan seems pretty annoyed by those losses and says that winning on Sunday is a must.
He was asked if those defeats bothered the Celtic players and gave them extra motivation for Sunday, and he was like, “What do you think? It’s never a dead rubber. You always want to win that game. It doesn’t matter what happened in the past, you just want to win.” He’s clearly not playing around here.
McCowan also got asked about whether he expects Rangers to give Celtic a guard of honor as champions, and he was like, “No, not at all. That’s just how it is, you know? Who knows what would happen if the tables were turned. We’ll just have to wait and see.”
He mentioned that the Celtic players still have personal targets to hit and spots to fight for in the line-up for the Scottish Cup Final. “We still have plenty to work towards this season. It’s all about setting new targets and breaking records. There’s always something to strive for, like how many goals you can score in a season. The cup final is another driving force for us. We’re not done yet.”
So, there you have it. Celtic isn’t taking Sunday’s game lightly, even though they already wrapped up the league title. They’re still hungry for a win, especially against their rivals. And McCowan is clear that there’s still plenty to play for in the remaining fixtures. Let’s see if Celtic can come out on top once again.
