Luke McCowan, born on 9 December 1997 (age 28), is a Scottish central attacking midfielder at Celtic. His career, though now tied to Glasgow, was shaped most clearly at Dundee, where he became a regular and productive top-flight player rather than a passing squad name.
Across four league seasons with Dundee, McCowan made 99 appearances and scored 23 goals. His best league campaign came in 2023-24, when he scored 10 times in 37 matches, a return that made Celtic’s interest fairly easy to understand. Celtic signed him from Dundee in August 2024 for around £1m.
At Celtic, McCowan has been part of a successful domestic period, winning two Premiership titles in 2024-25 and 2025-26. He was also part of a Scottish Cup runners-up side. In 2026-27, his Celtic season has included one league appearance, four Scottish Cup appearances with one goal, and four Europa League appearances with one goal, giving him nine appearances and two goals across all competitions.
His market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt. McCowan’s story is still rooted in Dundee, where he did the bulk of his senior work, with Celtic now the higher stage he has had to earn his place on.
