Born in Scotland on 9th December 1997, Luke McCowan serves as a pivotal figure at Celtic FC. The 28-year-old central attacking midfielder, recognisable in his number 14 jersey, measures in at 5ft 9in (1.77m) tall and weighs 11st 4lb (72kg).

He currently holds a market value of around £2.1m, according to Transfermarkt.

McCowan's professional journey set course in July 2016 when he joined Ayr United in the Championship. Despite only making one first-team league appearance in his debut season of 2017-2018, his potential was evident.

After several years at Ayr United, McCowan ascended to the Premiership with his transfer to Dundee in July 2021. His subsequent trajectory was remarkable, solidifying his reputation with regular first-team appearances and amassing a total of 23 goals over four seasons.

In August 2024, McCowan embraced a new challenge as he was procured by Celtic for an approximate fee of £1m. His first season saw him make 33 first-team appearances, contributing six goals. His statistics for the ongoing 2025-2026 season reveal 19 first-team outings and a solitary goal to date.

Beyond his league commitments, McCowan has also left his mark in the League Cup 2025-2026 for Celtic with a goal across two substitute appearances and one starting game. Furthermore, his involvement in the Champions League Qualifiers 2025-2026 and the Europa League 2025-2026 has seen additional game time.

McCowan's story continues to unfold at Celtic, as he etches his name deeper into the lore of the club with every performance.
