McGovern set for Livi
Despite a host of sides monitoring the youngster's progress, Livi have won the battle for his signature.
Lions' chairman Dominic Keane revealed McGovern could have a big future in the game, if he applies himself and works hard.
"He is a young Scot with a real chance in the game," said Keane. "He has been well groomed at Celtic, but it is so difficult to break through there.
"We are delighted to have the opportunity to give him the chance to progress to the next level although he is well aware that he will have to work hard here."
While chances at Celtic Park were limited, McGovern did gain experience last term after featuring in 18 games on loan for Sheffield United.
