Scottish midfielder Luke McCowan, born 9th of December 1997, is currently enlisted with Celtic Football Club. At 27 years of age, McCowan possesses an extensive experience in the field, playing primarily as central attacking midfielder. Measured at 5 feet 9 inches in height (1.77m) and weighing 11 stones 4 pounds (72kg), he adorns the Celtic jersey bearing the number 14.
Despite his humble beginnings, McCowan's prowess on the field has seen his market value skyrocket to a commendable £2.5m (converted from €2.50m), as catalogued by Transfermarkt.
Making his professional debut in July 2016, McCowan joined the ranks of Ayr United, a football club competing in Scotland's Championship. His initial season witnessed limited exposure on the main field, chalked up to one solitary appearance in league matches. It did, however, lay the groundwork for the seasons to come.
His tenure with Ayr United marked an end in July 2021 when he transferred to Dundee, a club in Scotland's Premiership. This saw a boost in his playing time. Over his three seasons there, spanning from 2021 to 2024, he made over 90 appearances role and proved instrumental in scoring 23 goals in league matches. However, a mere three appearances into the 2024-2025 season, his journey with Dundee was cut short.
In August 2024, McCowan transferred to Celtic Football Club, with a transfer fee of approximately £1m. His arrival at Celtic was marked by an impressive 33 appearances and six goals in league matches during the 2024-2025 season. The current 2025-2026 season has already witnessed McCowan making five first-team appearances and scoring one goal in league matches for Celtic.
Apart from league games, McCowan has been an integral part of Celtic's campaign in multiple tournaments. These include the 2025-2026 League Cup where he got a starting role, the 2024-2025 Scottish Cup where he scored a goal across five appearances, and the 2025-2026 Champions League qualifiers, where he came from the bench.
Despite only a couple of seasons with Celtic, McCowan's contributions have been significant in the club's endeavours. Celtic supporters hope that his journey with the team still has many chapters yet to be written.
