Adam Montgomery, the stalwart defender, took his first breath in Scotland, on the 18th of July, 2002. This promising lad, standing at 5ft 8in (1.73m) and tipping the scales at a sturdy 9st 6lb (60kg), has been relentlessly representing Celtic, donning the number 37 jersey with a hearty pride.
Montgomery's journey with Celtic started as a trainee in July 2009, when he was barely a teenager. In the 2020-2021 season, he broke into the first team, making two appearances in league matches. His grit and determination didn't go unnoticed, as he furthered his count to eight in the following 2021-2022 season, proving his mettle in Scotland's Premiership. However, in the current running season of 2025-2026, he has yet to make his mark.
A shift in the course of his career saw Montgomery being loaned to Aberdeen in the Premiership in January 2022. He was on the pitch seven times in league matches, using this stint as an opportunity for growth and skill enhancement. His loan period culminating in June of the same year, Montgomery found his path leading back to Celtic.
The tale of Montgomery’s career path contains various runs on and off Celtic's playing field. July 2022 saw this promising player taking another loan to St Johnstone, competing in Scotland's Championship. He graced the field 28 times in the 2022-2023 league matches, before returning to Celtic in June 2023. Soon after his return, he was loaned to Fleetwood Town, where he braved the challenges of the League Two in England.
January 2024 brought a U-turn in Montgomery's career, returning to Celtic. Still, the winds of loan transfers managed to sway him to Motherwell in the Premiership. This stint was short-lived as he returned to Celtic in February 2024.
Pathways turned and twisted in intriguing patterns for Montgomery once more, when Celtic loaned him to Queen's Park in the Championship, February 2025. In the 2024-2025 season, he stepped onto their grounds 12 times and netted a goal, demonstrating his growth as a player. The loan culminated in June 2025, and he returned to Celtic once more.
The constant element of change in Montgomery’s career path continued as he was loaned to Livingston in July 2025. By the ongoing season of 2025-2026, he has already made eight appearances. The loan ended in January 2026, leading him back to the Celtic ground.
Adam Montgomery's journey through different pitches, jerseys, and team environments has been punctuated with alternating periods at Celtic. As he navigates the ongoing season of 2025 - 2026, his performance on Celtic's ground still remains to be seen.
