On 26 November, he made his second appearance for Celtic, coming on as a 64th-minute substitute against St Mirren.

Dylan McGeouch (born 15 January 1993) is a Scottish footballer, who plays as a midfielder for club Carlisle United.

He left Celtic in 2008 after his older brother Darren, who was also playing for the club's youth teams, fell out of favour.

McGeouch went to Rangers in 2008, but he returned to Celtic in 2011 after Neil Lennon visited his house and asked him to come back.

Rangers manager Walter Smith had appealed to McGeouch to stay at Rangers.

Rangers were later awarded £100,000 by a transfer tribunal regarding the McGeouch transfer.

McGeouch made his Celtic debut on 6 November 2011, when he came on as a late substitute in a 2–1 win over Motherwell.

McGeouch was called up to the Scotland under-21 squad on 17 April 2012, to face Italy eight days later.

He was often a ball boy for first team matches during his time there.

He earned a selection for the international squad in March 2018, but then had to withdraw due to an abductor injury.

With his contract due to expire at the end of the season, head coach Neil Lennon confirmed during May 2018 that McGeouch would leave under freedom of contract.
