Luke McCowan tells Aberdeen how the Celtic dressing room feels about their visit to Parkhead
Aberdeen told Celtic are only focusing on themselves
Since joining Celtic for £1 million on transfer deadline day, McCowan has made quite an impression. The former captain of Dundee, who already has one goal to his name and was a standout in Celtic’s victory over Ross County, has sent a message to The Dons ahead of the big game next weekend: “I guess their start has been good. It’s probably different from their start last year. “But listen, we focus on ourselves. It’s a game we know that if we apply ourselves correctly and put our full focus on that game, which we will, then we should be coming out with three points.”
It’s an important game to look forward to and it will probably be brought a bit bigger because Aberdeen are sitting second. So there’s always more publicity about it but it should be a good game. We don’t see anything different in that and we know that it takes a lot of hard work and there’s no easy games in this league no matter who you are playing.”
Celtic’s last ten results vs Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership

Nine wins and one draw in their ten games played by Celtic. It is likely that the Hoops will win the three points in the Parkhead matchup with 27 goals scored and only six goals allowed.
The evidence will be in the pudding when Celtic and Rangers play at full time in Glasgow on 19 October, though, as Jimmy Thelin’s team appears to be a different animal from those that Celtic have played in the past.
