Scottish prodigy Luke McCowan, born the 9th of December 1997, now aged 28, cuts a prominent figure in the heart of Celtic's midfield. Standing at 5ft 9in (1.77m) and maintaining a sturdy 11st 4lb (72kg) frame, McCowan has made the central attacking midfield role his own. His professional dedication is clearly mirrored in his performances, a factor that keeps him etched onto the back of the supporters' iconic number 14 jerseys.

McCowan's current market valuation sits roughly around £2m, having been quantified by prominent football database Transfermarkt.

McCowan began his Scottish football journey with Ayr United in July 2016, entering the competitive realm of the Championship league. He made a humble debut in the 2017 - 2018 season with a single league appearance to his name.

In July 2021 McCowan ascended to the Premiership, transferring from Ayr United to Dundee. His trajectory with Dundee, beginning the 2021 - 2022 season, included 29 appearances and four goals at the tail-end of his kickoff season. The following seasons saw McCowan continue to solidify his position, notching 30 appearances and seven goals in 2022 - 2023, followed by a stellar 37 appearances and ten goals in 2023 - 2024. McCowan's stint in Dundee concluded in the 2024 - 2025 season with three performances and two goals on the sheet.

August 2024 heralded McCowan's move to Celtic, a £1m transfer that brought him to the Premiership's grand stage. His debut season with the Hoops (2024 - 2025) resulted in 33 appearances and six goals in league matches. The current season (2025 - 2026) has, so far, seen McCowan pull on the green and white hoops 22 times, with a single league goal to his name.

McCowan remains an active figure in Celtic's tournament runs, featuring in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 with one goal from one start and two substitute appearances. In the Scottish Cup 2025 - 2026 he's made a single start, marked his presence in the Champions League Qualifiers 2025 - 2026 with a substitute appearance, and honoured the Europa League 2025 - 2026 with a start and substitute appearance. It is clear that Luke McCowan has embraced the spirit of Celtic and we look forward to following his continued journey.
