Scottish-born Luke McCowan, who celebrates his birthday on 9th December, was born in 1997, which makes him 27 years old. This plucky Scottish midfielder, who specialises in a central attacking role, currently plies his trade with the renowned Celtic Football Club. Not the tallest on the pitch, McCowan stands at a modest 5ft 9in (1.77m) and carries a lean build, weighing in at around 11st 4lb (72kg). On the green pitch, you'll spot him donning the number 14 jersey.
McCowan's skills and potential haven't gone unnoticed, with his current market value estimated to be around £2m, as per Transfermarkt. Of course, such evaluations should always be taken with a pinch of salt.
Prior to pulling on the hoops for Celtic, McCowan started his career back in July 2016 with Scottish Championship side, Ayr United. His first taste of professional football came in the 2017-2018 season, where he made a solitary appearance for the first team. But it wasn't until July 2021 that McCowan made his move up to the pinnacle of Scottish football, transferring to Premiership side Dundee.
In his time with Dundee, McCowan steadily enhanced his reputation, featuring consistently over the following seasons. McCowan ramped up his goalscoring exploits during the 2023 - 2024 season, registering ten goals in 37 appearances. His final season with Dundee saw him play three matches, scoring twice.
It was during this time that Celtic saw fit to snap him up, in August 2024, in a deal estimated to be around £1m. Since then, McCowan has made himself an integral component of the Celtic side. He put in over thirty appearances in his inaugural season, notching up a commendable six goals. As of the current 2025 - 2026 season, McCowan has so far featured ten times, netting a single goal.
McCowan's Celtic story, however, is not limited to regular league matches alone. He proved his worth during Celtic's Scottish Cup 2024 - 2025 campaign, making a single goal in one starting and four substitute appearances. During the subsequent 2025 - 2026 season, McCowan also participated in the League Cup, scoring once across his two appearances. Then there's his involvement with the Champions League Qualifiers in 2025 - 2026, making an appearance as a substitute.
With his talent and maturity, McCowan has undoubtedly carved out his place within the Celtic team ranks. His Celtic tale continues to unfold with every passing game, and we - the spectators - can only await what comes next in his journey with bated breaths and eager hearts.
