Adam Montgomery, hailing from Scotland and born on 18th July 2002, is currently a hearty 23-year-old. This defender is primarily associated with the position of left back for Celtic. He's not the tallest of the lot, standing at 5ft 8in (1.73m) tall and tipping the scales at 9st 6lb (60kg). When you spot a Celtic player with the number 37 emblazoned on his jersey, that's your man Montgomery.
In July 2009, Montgomery, then all of seven, joined Celtic in the Premiership as a trainee. Fast-forward to his debut season in 2020-2021, he had made two appearances on Celtic's illustrious first team. In the following season, 2021-2022, Montgomery's name appeared eight times on the first team's sheet and to date, in the current season (2025-2026), he has yet to make his mark.
Jumping forward to January 2022, Montgomery was loaned out from Celtic to Premiership rivals, Aberdeen. He graced Aberdeen's first team with seven appearances that season.
In June 2022, Montgomery returned to Celtic, only to embrace another loan journey in July, seeking lesser known pastures. This brought him to St Johnstone in the Championship where he made a significant 28 appearances during the 2022-2023 season.
June 2023 saw Montgomery return once again to Celtic. Alas, this was for a brief stint only, as in July 2023 he was shipped to Fleetwood Town in England's League Two on loan. Having seen out his term there, he promptly returned to his native Celtic in January 2024.
The same month witnessed yet another shift in Montgomery's allegiances as he was transferred to Motherwell, back in the Scottish Premiership, on loan. In a short-lived arrangement, he returned from Motherwell to Celtic just the following month, in February 2024.
Presumably, the lad needed a change of horizon and so, in February 2025, he was off to Queen's Park in the Championship, again, on loan. Among his dozen first-team appearances that season, he managed to net his first goal.
June 2025 marked our manโs return to Celtic. However, like a thrill-seeker on a rollercoaster wanting just one more ride, in July 2025 he was again on the move, loaned out this time to Livingston where he's already played eight matches in the current season, 2025-2026.
In a symphony of seasons, loan and return, January 2026 has seen Montgomery return, once more, to Celtic. Will he finally put down roots or will his rollercoaster ride continue? Only time will tell.
