Born in Scotland on 9 December 1997, Luke McCowan is a versatile midfield maestro who pulls the strings as a central attacking midfielder for the glorious Celtic. At a handy height of 5ft 9in (1.77m) and hefting a robust 11st 4lb (72kg) frame, McCowan is the proud bearer of the famed number 14 jersey for the team.
Presently, McCowan's worth in the transfer market is around the £2m mark. This estimation is given by Transfermarkt, an established and reliable source for player valuations.
His football career kicked off with a spell at Ayr United in the Championship in Scotland, where he made his move in July 2016. His exploits during the 2017-2018 season saw him take the field once for the first team in league matches, a decent start for then-budding talent.
In what can be seen as the first significant step in his journey, he transferred to Dundee in the Scottish Premiership in July 2021. Across his time there from 2021 to 2024, McCabe made his mark with steady and impressive appearances, finding the net with increasing regularity season after season.
August 2024 saw him take a momentous leap as he was welcomed into the Celtic fold. The transfer deal, negotiated at around £1m, was cutting a fine figure amidst the pantheon of Scottish transfers.
Living up to the faith shown in him by the Hoops, McCowan made a sizeable 33 appearances for Celtic during the 2024-2025 season, netting the ball six times. In the current football year of 2025-2026, he's off to a promising start and he's already shown glimpses of his class in four first team appearances, besides chipping in with a solitary goal.
An integral part of Celtic's cup runs, McCowan has featured in League Cup 2025-2026 with one start, Scottish Cup 2024-2025 with a goal under his belt in five outings, and also had a taste of continental football in the Champions League Qualifiers 2025-2026 with a substitute appearance. He continues to be a sterling asset for Celtic, and fans can look forward to seeing him weave his magic in the seasons to come.
