Adam Montgomery, born 18 July 2002 (now 22 years old), hails from Scotland. This skilful defender, with a particular strength at left back, has been an asset to Celtic Football Club. His height of 1.73m (or 5ft 8in for those who shun the metric system) might not sound imposing, but on the pitch, his command is evident. Montgomery weighs in at a light yet fit 60kg (or 9st 6lb), exhibiting a lean, athletic build suitable for the fast-paced game. He sports the number 37 jersey at Celtic.
Back in July 2009, Montgomery initiated his journey in the grand realm of football as a trainee at Celtic in the Scottish Premiership. His debut season of 2020 - 2021 saw him making two appearances in the first team during league matches. He upped that tally to eight in the following season, 2021 - 2022. However, the current 2024 - 2025 season hasn't opened with any appearances yet.
In January 2022, Montgomery went on loan from Celtic to the famed Aberdeen, also in the Scottish Premiership. That season he had the opportunity to take to the field seven times in league matches for Aberdeen. However, by June 2022, he returned to Celtic, having completed his loan stint. That subsequent season under Celtic, Montgomery continued to make his presence felt with eight appearances in first team league matches.
Yet, come July 2022, Montgomery was again lent out, this time to St Johnstone in the Scottish Premiership. It was a fruitful season for him as he managed 28 first team appearances in league matches, playing a considerable role for St Johnstone. By June 2023, however, Montgomery found himself back at Celtic, his loan period having come to a close.
July 2023 saw another adventurous loan move for Montgomery, this time to Fleetwood Town in England's League Two. He returned to Celtic in January 2024, completing yet another successful, albeit short, loan term. This was immediately followed by a short loan spell at Motherwell in the Scottish Premiership in the same month. The stint ended in February 2024 when Montgomery once again returned to Celtic.
In an interesting turn of events, February 2025 saw Montgomery transferred from Celtic to Queen's Park in the Scottish Championship, again on loan. However, he seems to have found rhythm here, having already made 12 first-team appearances and scored a goal in the current 2024 - 2025 season.
With frequent transfer and loan moves, Montgomery's performances and endeavour on the field stand testament to his commitment to the sport. His history at Celtic has been eventful, to say the least, and one can only anticipate what future seasons may hold for this steadfast player. As fans, we keenly keep our sights on the pitch, watching each manoeuvre of our number 37, Adam Montgomery.
