Celtic's McCowan Emphasizes Champion Status Ahead of Rangers Match

Celtic midfielder Luke McCowan emphasized that his team does not feel they have a point to prove against Rangers in their upcoming match, despite Rangers having won the previous two encounters between the rivals. Instead, McCowan insists that Celtic, fresh off securing their 55th Scottish title, are focused on demonstrating why they are champions by maintaining high performance standards regardless of the opponent or venue. He downplayed expectations of a guard of honour from Rangers, highlighting that the Hoops' consistency throughout the season is the reason for their success. McCowan and the team aim to use the match at Ibrox as an opportunity to showcase their champion mentality and pursue additional records before the season ends. He acknowledged disappointment over recent results against Rangers, but stressed the importance of continuing to set high standards and targets for the remainder of the season. The approach underscores Celtic's drive to reinforce their dominance and not rest on their laurels, even after clinching the league title.
