Born in the heartland of Scotland on the 9th of December 1997, Luke McCowan has made an impressive name for himself in the world of football. This Scottish midfielder, who as of now stands at 28 years of age, has a primary duty in the central attacking midfielder position of Celtic, one of Scotland's most distinguished football teams. With a commanding presence on the pitch, McCowan stands at 1.77m (or 5ft 9in for the traditionalist) and weighs in at a modest 72kg (or 11st 4lb).

Adorning the number 14 jersey, McCowan has a current market value believed to be around €2.50m (approximately £2.1m), as per the statistics provided by Transfermarkt.

McCowan's professional journey started apace in July 2016 when he signed up with Ayr United, a team in Scotland's Championship league. Betraying his early potential, he managed to make a first team appearance in league matches all in his debut season of 2017 - 2018.

Five years later, in July 2021, McCowan orchestrated a smooth transfer from Ayr United to Dundee, successfully climbing up the ranks to Scotland's Premiership league. From 2021 to 2024, McCowan made himself indispensable to Dundee, with 96 first team appearances and a total of 21 goals scored in league matches. His final flurry during the 2024 - 2025 season at Dundee saw McCowan scoring two goals in just three appearances.

In August 2024, this dynamic midfielder was drawn towards the luminous allure of playing for Celtic in the Premiership league, for a substantial fee of around £1m.

His time at Celtic has so far been characterised by unflagging motivation and enviable talent. In the 2024 - 2025 season, McCowan made 33 first team appearances and judiciously used these opportunities to score an impressive six goals. The current 2025 - 2026 season at Celtic sees McCowan maintaining a steady performance, with 15 first team appearances and one goal to his name.

In other league action, McCowan participated in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 for Celtic, adding one more goal to his tally in three appearances. He has also been seen in the Champions League Qualifiers 2025 - 2026 for Celtic as a substitute once, and in one start for the Europa League 2025 - 2026 for Celtic.
