Adam Montgomery, is an intriguing character in the world of Scottish football. Born on 18 July 2002, he is now a steadfast defender who currently serves as a left back for Livingston, proudly wearing the number 3 jersey. Standing at around 5ft 8in (1.73m) tall and weighing approximately 9st 6lb (60kg), he certainly embodies the physical graft inherent in the game.
Montgomery began his football trajectory with Celtic in the Scottish Premiership as a promising trainee in July 2009. By the time his preliminary season arrived in 2020 - 2021, he had managed to make it to the first team for two league matches and ramped it up to eight first team appearances in the following season (2021 - 2022).
Showing signs of capacity for improvement, Montgomery was loaned to Aberdeen in January 2022. Despite managing only seven first-team appearances in league matches, he returned to Celtic in June of the same year ready to further his development.
After repeating his performance at Celtic over two seasons, Montgomery then moved on to championship side St Johnstone on another loan in July 2022. This move saw an increase in his playing time and he made 28 first team league appearances during the 2022 - 2023 season.
Opting for variety in his experience, Montgomery shifted to England's Fleetwood Town in the League Two in July 2023, but it was a brief stint, as he returned to Celtic in January the following year. Further loan spells continued to beckon him - a quick jaunt to Motherwell in January 2024, and a more productive engagement at Queen's Park in the Championship where he made 12 first team appearances and netted a singular goal in the 2024-25 season.
Eventually, he made his way to Livingston in July 2025. Despite being on loan from Celtic, his performance has been exemplary, having thus far made seven first team appearances in the current 2025 - 2026 season. Additionally, his prowess went beyond the realm of the Scottish Premiership and into the Scottish League Cup, where he started once, successfully netting a goal.
No doubt, Adam Montgomery is certainly one to watch – a testament to the football prowess that exists in Scotland. His career reflects a steadfast character with a persistent willingness to grow, develop his craft and earn his spot on the pitch, regardless of what jersey he is wearing.
