    Perfect definition of a super sub.

    One of the best finishers we have when he gets a clear look at goal. Not an everyday starter but again showed what a valuable part of the squad he is for us.

    This is where I'm at with him. Definitely in the minority here but I think a solid run of games would see him become a very important player for us.

    Doesn't look likely without injuries though

    As opposed to letting Reo stroll about in second gear all game?

    Last season, he started 14 times in all comps for Celtic, including scoring the first goal on his first start. Celtic record when McCowan started was W9 D2 L3. In terms of MotM games, the 5-0 league win v County (1g + 3a) in November and the 5-1 league win v Aberdeen in May (1g+2a) stand out. In total, he scored 7 goals (5 as a starter) and made 9 assists (7 as a starter).

    Of the 4 games Celtic didn't win, only one of those was he on the pitch more than 65min, and only 1 was Celtic in a losing position in when he was subbed off. And of the 2 games Celtic lost, the 2-1 loss v Hibs, was just 3 days after the Bayern Munich (A) game, and the 3-2 loss to Sevco, McCowan assisted to make it 2-2 to give the Hoops a chance to take something from a game when it never looked likely.

    Thought he was our best player today outside Sarrachi.

    Only guy trying to do something, should have stayed on.

    Thought he was our best midfielder today. Shouldn't have been hooked for me

    I must be watching games differently to some. He had a few moments here and there, but overall I thought he was well below it.

    Agreed

    Another one who, ultimately, isn’t the level required.

    It's weird. I feel the same, but opposite, if that makes sense. I think McCowan is quite obviously better than what many people rate him. But then alot of people feel how you do.

    It's interesting how perceptions can differ but that's life I suppose!

    Yet another game he's got a start and done * all. Maybe that will quieten down the calls for him to start more games for a few weeks.

    He's a squad player who's fine to bring on when we are ahead in domestic games but is no more than that.
