Luke McCowan Questions Aberdeen as Title Contender

Celtic midfielder Luke McCowan has dismissed claims that Aberdeen are genuine title contenders in the Scottish Premiership, emphasizing that it is too early in the season to make such declarations. Despite Aberdeen's perfect start to the campaign, sitting joint-top with Celtic, McCowan insists that no team can be labeled a contender after only seven games. He highlighted the importance of maintaining the right mentality in upcoming matches, particularly with a highly anticipated clash against Aberdeen on October 19. Following a disappointing 7-1 loss to Borussia Dortmund, McCowan remains confident in Celtic's ability to compete at a high level, stating that they are as big a club as any top team in Europe. He believes that consistency in performance is crucial, regardless of the opponent, and aims for the team to achieve a Champions League standard week in, week out. McCowan's focus is currently on solidifying his place in the Celtic squad rather than seeking international call-ups for Scotland.
