Scottish-born Luke McCowan, midfielder for Celtic and a central attacking player, was born on the 9th of December 1997. Standing at a height of 5ft 9in (1.77m) and weighing in at 11st 4lb (72kg), this stalwart player dons the number 14 jersey. Despite his relative youth, McCowan brings along an impressive career, dating back to his teen years.
At a market value rounding to about £2m, as noted in Transfermarkt, McCowan's journey has not been without its highlights. Currently in the middle of a contract due to conclude on the 31st of May 2027, McCowan stays loyal to Celtic, at least for the time being.
McCowan's professional career started in earnest in 2016 when he entered the fray with Ayr United in the Championship in Scotland. Although his debut season of 2017 - 2018 was relatively modest with just a single appearance in league matches, it served as a critical stepping stone for the burgeoning player.
By July of 2021, McCowan was ready for a fresh challenge, transferring from Ayr United to Dundee in the Premiership in Scotland. This proved a fruitful period for McCowan, who in the season of 2021 - 2022 made 29 appearances and struck four goals in league matches. As time marched on, so did McCowan's flair, with his 2022 - 2023 season seeing 30 appearances and seven goals, and an even more impressive season 2023 - 2024, featuring 37 appearances and ten goals. Even in the early throes of the current season, McCowan has managed three appearances and two goals.
In August of 2024, McCowan made his most significant career move yet, transferring from Dundee to Celtic for a fee of £1m. Settling into his role at Celtic with ease, McCowan participated in 29 matches for the club in the current season and found the back of the net five times.
McCowan has also had the opportunity to participate in more prestigious contests, representing Celtic in the Scottish Cup 2024 - 2025 where he scored one goal in one start and made two appearances as a substitute. He also played in the Champions League 2024 - 2025 for Celtic with three appearances as a substitute. These opportunities have undoubtedly been significant building blocks in shaping McCowan's career and honing his skills for the challenges that lie ahead.
