Scottish-born Luke McCowan is a distinguished midfielder, known for his central attacking prowess. Born on 9 December 1997, the 28-year-old McCowan currently plays for Celtic, donning the number 14 jersey. With a height of 5ft 9in (1.77m) and weight of 11st 4lb (72kg), this dynamic midfielder is well-regarded for his physical attributes which contribute significantly to his overall gameplay.

McCowan's current market value is estimated at around £2.15m, as stated by sports financial website Transfermarkt.

In July 2016, the Scotsman started his professional journey with Ayr United in the Championship. Despite only making one appearance in his debut league season (2017 - 2018), he remained resolute and committed to honing his skills.

His professional dedication propelled him into a fruitful period at Dundee. His transfer in July 2021 marked the start of an impressive tenure, with rising appearances and goal count over the years from 29 appearances and 4 goals in 2021 - 2022 to a commendable 37 appearances and 10 goals in the 2023 - 2024 season.

Following his proven performance at Dundee, McCowan was lured to Celtic in the Premiership in August 2024 for a fee of approximately £1m. In his first season (2024 - 2025) at Celtic, he made 33 first team league appearances and put away six goals. His contribution has, so far, continued into the current season (2025 - 2026) with a score in 22 appearances.

Celtic fans fondly recall his shining performances in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 where he scored a goal in three appearances. He also appeared in the Scottish Cup, Champions League Qualifiers, and Europa League, tallying one start each, further solidifying his standing as a valuable midfield asset to the Celtic Football Club.
