Celtic have handed a new two-year contract to striker Paul McGowan.

McGowan, 22, broke into the first team under former manager Tony Mowbray this season and has now pledged his future to the Parkhead club until summer 2012.

"Obviously Tony Mowbray was starting to take a liking to me and then the sacking came, but that's football," he said.

"I was in a no-win situation. I am not 23 yet. If I knock the offer back, somebody has got to come in and pay X amount of compensation and there's no money going about in the game.

"But that is not a problem. I was delighted to sign and I am confident in myself whatever manager comes in."
