Rod Stewart turns Celtic transfer guru as he identifies 'young kid' from Premiership rivals who MUST be had

Sir Rod Stewart has urged Celtic to raid Dundee of Luke McCowan this summer as he confessed Tony Docherty's side "could be a problem" this weekend.

After reaching the Scottish Cup final with a penalty shoot-out win over Aberdeen last weekend, it's back to league duty for Brendan Rodgers' side on Sunday when they travel to Dens Park for the first of their post-split fixtures. The Hoops go into the split with a three-point advantage over Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premiership but Celtic diehard Stewart is taking nothing for granted going into the final run-in.

Speaking to Alan Brazil on talkSPORT, a hesitant Stewart offered his take on the clash with Dundee - before advising the Celtic Park chiefs to make a move for 26-year-old McCowan. The rocker said: "We can't take our foot off the pedal that's the thing. Dundee could be a problem. Have you seen this young kid McCowan? He plays for Dundee. Wow. He is superb, I hope Celtic have got their eye on him."

And Stewart admitted he felt sympathy for Aberdeen after the Parkhead side saw off Peter Leven's men in a semi-final thriller at Hampden. Despite a penalty shoot-out victory, he said: "They (Aberdeen) were outstanding.

"I actually felt a bit sorry for the Aberdeen supporters, they deserved a little bit more than that. If they can keep that up next year then they are going to be a top-four team, they were brilliant."
