Born on 9th December 1997 in Scotland, Luke McCowan is currently plying his trade, as primarily an attacking midfielder, at Celtic Football Club. Aged 28, McCowan stands at 5ft 9in (1.77m) and weighs in at a healthy 11st 4lbs (72kg). He can be identified on the pitch by his No. 14 jersey.

An estimate of McCowan's current market value stands at about €2.50m, which translates to approximately £2m. This information is courtesy of Transfermarkt.

In July 2016, McCowan's career trajectory led him to join Ayr United in the Scottish Championship, making his debut in the 2017 - 2018 season with a single first-team appearance.

McCowan soon found his way out of the Championship and into the Premiership, where he made a move from Ayr United to Dundee in July 2021. During his time at Dundee, McCowan proved his worth, garnering good game time and goals. Over four seasons, he made 129 appearances and netted 23 goals for Dundee. His best season being his third, when he made 37 appearances and scored ten goals.

In August 2024, McCowan made the prestigious transfer to Celtic for a meagre £1m. It was at Celtic that McCowan further displayed his midfield prowess. Thus far, he has taken the pitch on 50 occasions, scoring seven goals in the process. So far in the current season, 2025 - 2026, McCowan has made 17 appearances and scored one goal.

McCowan's work at Celtic doesn't go unnoticed in the League Cup and Europe-wide tournaments as well. In the 2025 - 2026 League Cup, he played three matches (one start and two substitute appearances), contributing one goal. He also had a single substitute appearance in the Champions League Qualifiers and made one start in the Europa League for Celtic in the same season.
