Luke McCowan, born on the 9th December 1997, is a Scottish midfielder best known for his time at Celtic Football Club where he assumed the role of a central attacking midfielder. Standing at a height of 1.77 metres (5ft 9in) and tipping the scales at 72 kilograms (11st 4lb), McCowan sports the number 14 kit.

According to Transfermarkt, McCowan's current market value is estimated at approximately £2m.

In July 2016, McCowan launched his career at Ayr United, a team competing in the Scottish Championship. Unfortunately, in his debut 2017-2018 season, he only managed to make one appearance in a first team league match.

In July 2021, seeing prospects for something greater, McCowan transferred to Dundee, a club making waves in the Scottish Premiership. His time with Dundee proved fruitful, making more than 100 appearances and netting 23 goals across four seasons.

In August 2024, McCowan made the move that would define his career, transferring to powerhouse Celtic in the Scottish Premiership for a sizable fee of approximately £1m. Embracing the ethos of the legendary Celtic spirit, McCowan has gone on to make a significant impact, punctuating the field with his dazzling footwork and strategic play-making.

During the 2024-2025 season, McCowan made 33 first team appearances, managing to find the back of the net six times. In the current 2025-2026 season, he has already made 15 appearances, netting one goal.

Beyond his league matches exploits, McCowan participated in many tournaments representing Celtic with pride. His contributions in the League Cup 2025-2026, Champions League Qualifiers 2025-2026 and Europa League 2025-2026, reveal not only his remarkable technical skills but also his steadfast commitment to the team ethos.
