Born in Scotland on 9th December 1997, Luke McCowan, a midfielder who particularly thrives in the role of a central attacking midfielder, is known for his talent in Celtic Football Club. Wearing the number 14 jersey, McCowan is somewhat of an imposing figure at 1.77m (5ft 9in) in height and tipping the scales at 72kg (11st 4lb).

The current market value of McCowan is estimated to be around a cool £2.1m, as per the data available on Transfermarkt.

The Scot started his professional career in July 2016 when he joined Ayr United in the Championship, making only one first team appearance in league matches in his début season of 2017 - 2018. In July 2021, McCowan bid adieu to Ayr United and transferred to Dundee in the Premiership.

McCowan spent productive seasons at Dundee from 2021 to 2024, making regular appearances and steadily increasing his goal tally every season. During the 2024-2025 season, however, after making just three appearances for Dundee and scoring two goals, McCowan transferred to Celtic.

The transfer to Celtic, estimated to be around £1m, was worth every pence for the club. Since the 2024 - 2025 season, McCowan has made a total of 55 first team appearances for Celtic and netted seven goals in league matches. In the current 2025 - 2026 season, McCowan has managed a single goal in 22 appearances thus far.

In addition, Luke McCowan played an instrumental part in Celtic's campaigns in the League Cup 2025 - 2026, Scottish Cup 2025 - 2026, Champions League Qualifiers 2025 - 2026 and Europa League 2025 - 2026, making additional appearances both as a starting player and a substitute, and adding two goals to his tally.
