Midfielder Luke McCowan, born in Scotland on the 9th of December 1997 and now 27 years of age, has made his mark as a central figure within the Celtic Football team. Standing at 1.77m (5ft 9in) tall, and weighing a sturdy 72kg (11st 4lb), his presence on the football pitch is undeniable. He proudly dons the number 14 jersey for the team.

According to Transfermarkt, he commands a current market value in the vicinity of £1.3m. The 2 year and 3 month duration contract he holds with Celtic, is stipulated to expire on the last day of May 2027.

His professional journey began in July 2016 when McCowan joined Ayr United in the Championship in Scotland. Despite only securing his place within the first team appearance for league matches during the 2017 - 2018 season, this marked the start of an exciting career. Subsequently, in July 2021, he moved from Ayr United to Dundee, in the Premiership. Over four seasons at Dundee, he made 99 first team appearances, scoring a total of 23 goals.

In the course of a transfer costing around £1m, McCowan exchanged Dundee for Celtic in the Premiership in August 2024. During the current 2024 - 2025 season at Celtic, McCowan has already made 25 first team appearances and scored five goals in league matches, firmly cementing his place in the team.

His performance at the Scottish Cup 2024 - 2025 for Celtic saw him scoring a goal as both starter and substitute over the span of three appearances. Similarly, in the Champions League, he made three appearances as a substitute during the 2024 - 2025 season for Celtic.
