Luke McCowan, born on 9 December 1997 (age 28), is a Scottish attacking midfielder at Celtic. His career, though now taking place under a brighter light, was shaped most clearly at Dundee.
Dundee gave him the platform and the responsibility. Across four seasons there he made 99 league appearances and scored 23 league goals, becoming a central part of their side rather than just another useful midfielder passing through. His best league return came in 2023-24, when he scored 10 goals in 37 appearances.
Celtic signed him from Dundee in August 2024 for around £1m. It was a move from a club where he had carried real weight into one where midfield places are rarely handed out for neatness alone. His current market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
In 2025-26, McCowan has remained a regular first-team presence. He has made 30 league appearances, scoring one league goal, along with appearances in both domestic cups and in Europe. Across all competitions for Celtic this season, he has played 42 times and scored four goals.
McCowan’s career is still best understood through what he built at Dundee and how that earned him his move to Celtic. He is now part of the current Celtic squad, contributing regularly rather than sitting on the edge of it.
