Luke McCowan Ruled Out of Celtic’s League Cup Clash Against Falkirk

Celtic midfielder Luke McCowan will miss Sunday’s Scottish League Cup quarter-final match against Falkirk due to being cup-tied. McCowan featured for his former club, Dundee, in the previous round of the competition against Airdrie.

The 26-year-old scored his first goal for Celtic in their 2-0 win over Hearts last Saturday but will not be eligible to play against Falkirk. Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers is expected to make several changes to his starting lineup, but McCowan’s absence will deny fans the opportunity to see him make his first start for the Hoops.

McCowan’s ineligibility is a result of his involvement in the previous round, which prevents him from participating in the remainder of the competition for Celtic. The Scottish Premiership champions will look to other players to fill the midfield role, with Anthony Ralston, Alex Valle, Auston Trusty, and Paulo Bernardo potential candidates to start.

Celtic enters the match in fine form, having won every competitive game this season. Falkirk, however, is also in formidable form, setting up an exciting quarter-final clash at Parkhead.

Despite McCowan’s absence, Celtic fans can expect an entertaining match as the Bhoys aim to advance to the semi-finals.
