Brendan Rodgers was delighted for fellow Celtic supporter Luke McCowan who came off the bench for Celtic this afternoon to score Celtic’s second goal of the match to wrap up the three points.
Speaking at his post match media conference the Celtic manager understood the significance of the moment for the £1m signing on transfer deadline day.
“It’s great. Any player playing for their boyhood team and to come on and he is still adapting a lot to the speed and tempo of the game,” the Celtic manager said.
“He will never lay down whether he starts the game or comes into the game and I think for a young guy who is a Celtic supporter, it is his absolute dream to be here, you can sense it in him every single day.
“To then actually score at Celtic Park and get that feeling from the supporters is brilliant for him. The supporters recognise it as well. I am so happy for him,” Brendan said.
