Scottish midfield maestro Luke McCowan was born on 9 December 1997, making him currently 28 years old. His professional football career has been highlighted by his role as a central attacking midfielder, most predominantly at Celtic where he dons the number 14 jersey with verve and determination. McCowan stands at a moderate 1.77 metres (5ft 9in) in height and maintains a fighting form with a weight of 72 kilograms (11st 4lb).
In terms of his financial worth in the game, Transfermarkt currently pegs his market value at a respectable, yet somewhat unremarkable, £2.1m.
McCowan's journey in professional football saw its genesis at Ayr United in the Championship, Scotland in July 2016. His first season (2017 - 2018) might have provoked some to call it a humble beginning, with him making a solitary first team appearance in league matches.
A switch from Ayr United to Dundee in the Premiership, Scotland took place in July 2021. His stint with Dundee was relatively more successful, seeing him take to the pitch 129 times over four seasons, and notch up a tally of 23 goals in league matches.
Where he truly came into his own was during his tenure with Celtic. After transferring from Dundee for a rounded down sum of £1m in August 2024, McCowan's performances added a fresh dynamism to Celtic's game. In his first season (2024 - 2025), he marked his presence with six goals in 33 appearances. In the ongoing season (2025 - 2026) he continues to contribute with 21 first team appearances and a single goal so far.
Beyond the domestic league context, McCowan has proven his mettle in various cups and international competitions during his time with Celtic. This includes the League Cup 2025 - 2026 where he scored a goal in one start and two substitute appearances. In Celtic's European journey, he has a single appearance as a sub in the Champions League Qualifiers 2025 - 2026, and has started in the Europa League 2025 - 2026.
