Adam Montgomery

Adam Montgomery of Celtic was born in Livingston, Scotland on 18 July 2002 (age 23).

Adam Montgomery, born on 18 July 2002 (age 23), is a Scottish left-back currently with Celtic. He joined the club from Aberdeen in June 2022, giving him an early Celtic connection before much of his senior football began to take shape elsewhere.

His Celtic spell has brought two Premiership titles, in 2021/22 and 2024/25, and a League Cup, along with one Premiership runners-up finish. That is a decent medal line for a young player, though his own career has still been more about finding regular football than settling into a fixed role at Celtic.

Montgomery’s most productive league season came at Queen’s Park in 2024/25, when he scored one goal in 12 appearances. In 2025/26, he has made eight league appearances without scoring, still operating primarily from left-back.

Now wearing squad number 54 at Celtic, Montgomery remains an established professional rather than a finished article. His career so far has moved between a Celtic grounding and the need for minutes elsewhere, with his next steps likely to depend on whether he can turn those appearances into a more settled place.

His transfer pattern was almost entirely loan-based. Celtic sent Montgomery to Queen's Park in February 2025, brought him back in June, loaned him to Livingston in July, then recalled him in January 2026. That sequence pointed to a player still being assessed rather than established.
