Luke McCowan (born 9 December 1997, age 28) is a Scottish attacking midfielder whose senior career was shaped above all by his time at Dundee before his move to Celtic.
Across four seasons with Dundee, McCowan made 99 league appearances and scored 23 league goals. His strongest league return came in 2023-24, with 10 goals in 37 appearances, giving him the sort of Premiership body of work that made the step up to Celtic credible.
Celtic signed him from Dundee in August 2024 for around £1m. He arrived as a domestic player with proper top-flight grounding, rather than a punt dressed up as strategy. During his Celtic spell he has won two Premiership titles, in 2024-25 and 2025-26, and has also been part of squads finishing runners-up in the League Cup and Scottish Cup.
In 2026-27, McCowan has made 13 Celtic appearances across league, domestic cup and European competition, scoring twice: once in the league and once in the Scottish Cup. His current market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
McCowan’s career is still best understood through the Dundee spell that earned him the move. At Celtic, he is part of the squad as an established Scottish professional with recent minutes across several competitions.
