Club career

Lowry made his first-team debut for Rangers on 21 January 2022, in a Scottish Cup match against Stirling Albion, coming on as a first half substitute for Ianis Hagi.[3] He also scored the opening goal of the match in the 31st minute. Lowry then started the following match for Rangers, a Scottish Premiership tie against Livingston, playing the full match in midfield.[4] In May 2022, he signed a new contract with Rangers that is due to run until 2025.[5]

Lowry joined Heart of Midlothian on loan on 4 August 2023.[6] The deal was due to run until the end of the 2023–24 season, but Hearts cut it short during January 2024.[7]
