Luke McCowan, born on 9 December 1997 (age 28), is a Scottish attacking midfielder for Celtic. Before his move to Glasgow, his senior career had been shaped above all by Dundee, where he made 99 league appearances and scored 23 league goals across four seasons.
His best Dundee campaign came in 2023-24, when he scored 10 times in 37 league appearances. That spell gave him a solid Premiership profile rather than just a passing mention on a scouting list, and Celtic moved for him in August 2024, paying Dundee around £1m.
At Celtic, McCowan has had to work within a stronger squad and a narrower margin for minutes. He won Premiership titles in 2024-25 and 2025-26, and was also part of a Celtic side that finished as Scottish Cup runners-up. In 2026-27, he has made three league appearances and scored once, with further outings in the League Cup, Scottish Cup and Champions League qualifiers. Across all competitions for Celtic, he has nine appearances and two goals.
His current market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt. McCowan’s career to this point is still best understood through his Dundee years, with Celtic now the bigger and more demanding stage of his professional path.
