Luke McCowan reveals what the talk of the Celtic dressing room REALLY centres around as tables tossed out

Celtic produced a five-star performance to see off Ross County.

But Hoops ace Luke McCowan says Brendan Rodgers’ side just want to Netflix and THRILL rather than look at the Premiership table. The Parkhead midfielder put on a stunning show against the Staggies as the champions stretched their lead over Aberdeen to five points. McCowan was given a start by Rodgers and repaid his gaffer’s faith with a goal and three assists. Liam Scales, Paulo Bernardo, Callum McGregor and Adam Idah also got in on the act. And if Celtic beat Dons at Pittodrie on Wednesday night there will be daylight between themselves and the chasing pack.

But McCowan says the players are more interested in watching basketball series Starting 5 on Netflix. Asked if the players had discussed stretching their lead, he said: “No, we’re not talking about that. We talk about what we’re watching on Netflix. We’re watching Starting 5 so, no, the boys don’t look at tables or think about it.”

McCowan hasn’t been a regular this season but when called on he hasn’t let his manager down. And ahead of a huge fortnight for the club, which also includes a Champions League away game at Dinamo Zagreb and an Old Firm cup final, McCowan is determined to play his part.

He said: “It was probably my best performance so far. I want to help the team as much as I can no matter the game time I’m getting. I just want to impact games. Getting a goal and three assists is good. Will I stay in the team for Wednesday? That’s not my decision and the squad has unbelievable quality.

“No matter if I’m starting or not, I’m ready to play and help the team. If you’re not playing you can’t have a petted lip. You need to be ready for every game even when you’ve not played in a while.”
