Born in Scotland on 9 December 1997, Luke McCowan is a gifted central attacking midfielder plying his trade for Celtic. Standing a modest 5ft 9in (1.77m) tall and weighing 11st 4lb (72kg), the number 14 jersey has become synonymous with his name.

McCowan's market worth is estimated to be around £2.13m, as specified by Transfermarkt.

He began his professional career with Ayr United in Scotland's Championship division back in July 2016. His first season (2017-2018) with Ayr saw him grace the pitch in one league match.

McCowan ascended into the Premiership in July 2021 when he transferred to Dundee. He had a productive stint with Dundee, making steady improvements season after season. He made 29, 30, 37, and 3 first team appearances in his first, second, third, and fourth seasons respectively, scoring an aggregate of 23 goals.

McCowan's undeniable talent caught the attention of Celtic, resulting in a transfer in August 2024 for a rough sum of £1m.

Within his inaugural season (2024-2025) at Celtic, McCowan made 33 first team appearances and netted six goals in league matches. Currently, in the 2025-2026 season, he's featured in 20 games and has one goal to his name.

Beyond league play, McCowan played a pivotal role in Celtic's 2025-2026 League Cup run, scoring once in three appearances. He also made a name for himself internationally with a substitute appearance in the Champions League Qualifiers 2025-2026 and a starting position in the Europa League 2025-2026.

Although a relatively recent recruit, Luke McCowan's contributions to Celtic are already noteworthy and the fans undoubtedly look forward to witnessing his continued development in the beloved green and white hoops.
