Celtic maintained their strong start to the Scottish Premiership season with a comfortable 3-0 win over Motherwell, extending their unbeaten league run. Goals from Luke McCowan, Alistair Johnston, and Adam Idah helped Celtic reclaim their spot at the top of the table with 25 points out of a possible 27. Brendan Rodgers’ side showcased both the depth and strength of their squad, with impactful substitutions like Arne Engels and Idah adding over £20 million in talent off the bench.
The standout performance came from Luke McCowan, who opened the scoring with an impressive goal on his first league start for Celtic. McCowan’s adaptability and skill in Rodgers’ possession-focused system earned him praise, especially from pundit Michael Stewart, who described him as “top-class” and well-suited to Celtic’s style. Stewart commended McCowan’s vision and creativity in the final third, predicting he will thrive at the club.
After his £1 million summer transfer, McCowan’s early performances have demonstrated his ability to step up at Celtic, with two goals already and a string of impactful cameos. His smooth transition from Dens Park to Celtic Park suggests he will play a significant role as the season progresses, as Rodgers has shown confidence in the young Scottish talent.
