Scottish native Luke McCowan was born on 9 December 1997, now aged 27. For this midfielder, the primary position is that of a central attacking midfielder at his current club, Celtic. His appearance, standing at 1.77m (5ft 9in), and weighing 72kg (11st 4lb), is formidable in the Celtic number 14 jersey. McCowan's current market value is estimated to be around £1.7m, as suggested by Transfermarkt. The existing contract with Celtic is due to run up until 31 May 2027, giving him a little over two years remaining.
In July 2016, McCowan's football journey led him to join Ayr United, a club in the Scottish Championship. His initial season 2017 - 2018 saw him make a solitary appearance for the first team in league matches. Then in July 2021, McCowan made his move from Ayr United to another Scottish club, Dundee in the Premiership. His time at Dundee showcased growth in his performance. In the first season 2021 - 2022, McCowan made 29 appearances with four successful strikes at the goal. The following season 2022 - 2023, saw him make 30 appearances, upping his goal tally to seven. The season 2023 - 2024 was significantly commendable, with McCowan maintaining 37 appearances and achieving ten successful goals. In the current season 2024 - 2025, his efforts show signs of continuing this trajectory, with three appearances and two goals already in his arsenal.
In August 2024, McCowan's next leap was to Celtic. Given the reputation of Celtic within the Premiership, this shift from Dundee came for a considerable fee of around £1m. Since his Celtic debut in the 2024 - 2025 season, McCowan has featured in 29 first team appearances and managed to score five goals. His involvement in tournaments such as the Scottish Cup 2024 - 2025 for Celtic resulted in scoring one goal in one start and three appearances as a substitute. Moreover, his contribution in the Champions League 2024 - 2025 for Celtic entails three appearances as a substitute.
At the heart of it, Luke McCowan's journey so far is a testament to his enduring effort to improve with each season, with his statistics showing an undeniably positive rise.
