Midfielder Luke McCowan, born 9 December 1997 in Scotland, dons the number 14 jersey for the renowned Celtic Football Club. At a modest height of 5ft 9in (1.77m) and a weight of 11st 4lb (72kg), he offers a dynamic presence on the pitch, predominantly operating in the central attacking midfield position. As of now, the 28-year-old has a market value estimated to be in the realm of £2.1m, as highlighted by Transfermarkt.

Prior to his Celtic stint, McCowan embarked on his professional career with Ayr United in the Scottish Championship in July 2016, making a solitary appearance in the 2017-2018 season. A transfer followed in July 2021 to Dundee in the Premiership, where McCowan progressively showcased his calibre. His journey entailed 29 appearances with four goals in season 2021-2022, 30 appearances with seven goals in season 2022-2023, 37 appearances with ten goals in 2023-2024, and a brief yet effective performance in the 2024-2025 season with three appearances and two goals.

In August 2024, McCowan moved from Dundee to Celtic, with the Premiership club investing close to £1m. His debut season, 2024-2025, saw him make 33 first-team appearances and net six goals in league matches. As part of the ongoing 2025-2026 season, McCowan has made 15 first-team appearances and scored one goal.

In addition to his league commitments, McCowan participated in the 2025-2026 League Cup for Celtic, scoring a goal from one start and a substitute appearance. He also made his mark in the Champions League Qualifiers and the Europa League for Celtic in the same season, making one substitute appearance in the former and starting a match in the latter.
