The footballer began his professional football career with Ayr United in Scotland's Championship in July 2016. His first season (2017 - 2018) saw him make a single appearance in league matches for the club. However, his stint with Ayr United came to an end when he moved to Dundee in the Scottish Premiership in July 2021.

During his tenure with Dundee, McCowan shone on the pitch. He made significant contributions to the team, making 29 first team appearances and scoring four goals in his first season (2021 - 2022). His second season (2022 - 2023) saw him perform equally impressively, making 30 first team appearances and adding seven goals to his tally. Continuing to excel, in season 2023 - 2024, McCowan made 37 first team appearances and scored ten goals. Despite limited playtime in the 2024 - 2025 season, where he only appeared three times, he managed to net two goals, which piqued the interest of Celtic.

McCowan was transferred to Celtic in the Scottish Premiership in August 2024 for a fee estimated at £1m. In the 2024 - 2025 season with Celtic, McCowan made 33 first team appearances and scored six goals. He's off to a promising start in the 2025 - 2026 season already, having made nine first team appearances and scored a goal to his name. Besides his commitments in the league, McCowan represented Celtic in the 2025 - 2026 League Cup and in the Scottish Cup 2024 - 2025. His appearances have racked up one goal in both competitions, whilst also featuring in the Champions League Qualifiers 2025 - 2026.
