The skilful midfielder Luke McCowan, born on the 9th of December, 1997 in Scotland, currently wields his football proficiencies for Celtic. Standing at 1.77m (5ft 9in) and weighing 72kg (11st 4lb), this sturdy sportsman favours the central attacking midfielder position and is easily recognisable by his number 14 jersey.

According to Transfermarkt, his market value hovers around the €1.5m mark, which can be converted to approximately £1.3m in British currency. Stretching ahead, his promising contract with Celtic will continue for a comfortable length of time, drawing to a close on the 31st of May, 2027.

This impressive player's history traces back to July 2016 when he first made his mark in Scottish football. Linking with Ayr United in the Championship, McCowan made a modest entry into the first team, clocking up a single appearance in league matches for the 2017 - 2018 season.

Fast forward to July 2021, our tenacious midfielder seized a prosperous opportunity to transfer from Ayr United to Dundee in the Premiership. His debut season at Dundee in the Premiership, 2021 - 2022, witnessed a noticeable pick up in McCowan's performance, playing 29 matches and netting four goals. His upward trajectory did not wane, with the 2022 - 2023 season bringing 30 appearances and seven goals, followed by a positively bustling 2023 - 2024 season that saw McCowan making 37 appearances and scoring a remarkable 10 goals.

In the turning tide of August 2024, McCowan netted himself a commendable transfer from Dundee to Celtic for approximately £1m, another significant milestone in his professional football career. Now, part of the current season at Celtic, McCowan's thriving performance continues, marking his presence with 26 first team appearances and scoring five goals.

Apart from his powerful league matches performances, Luke McCowan also flaunted his prodigious abilities in the Scottish Cup 2024 - 2025 for Celtic, contributing one goal for the team in his one start and two substitute appearances. In addition, McCowan also participated in the prestigious Champions League 2024 - 2025 for Celtic, showcasing his football finesse in three substitute appearances.
