Luke McCowan, born on 9 December 1997 (age 28), is a Scottish attacking midfielder who joined Celtic from Dundee in August 2024 for around £1m.
Dundee remains the main body of his career so far. Across four seasons there, he made 99 league appearances and scored 23 league goals, developing into a reliable creative presence rather than a passing curiosity. His strongest league season came in 2023-2024, when he scored 10 goals in 37 appearances.
Celtic moved for him after that Dundee spell, and McCowan has stayed involved rather than drifting to the edges. In 2025-2026 he made 30 league appearances, scoring once, with further goals in the Scottish Cup and Europa League. Across all competitions for Celtic, he has made 38 appearances and scored three goals.
He has won two Premiership titles with Celtic, in 2024-2025 and 2025-2026, and was also part of a side that finished runner-up in the Scottish Cup. His current market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
McCowan’s career is still shaped most clearly by what he did at Dundee, but he remains a regular first-team presence at Celtic in 2025-2026.
