Aidan Borland is a Scottish centre midfielder, born on 25 April 2007 (age 19), who is now with Accrington Stanley. His Transfermarkt profile places him in the bracket of young Scottish midfielders trying to turn early promise into a proper senior career.
His Celtic connection came early. Borland was on the club’s books before leaving in July 2023 for Aston Villa, in a move worth around £300,000. For a teenager, that was a tidy fee and a reminder that Celtic’s academy can still attract attention from England, even when the first-team pathway is crowded.
From Villa, Borland’s career has taken him to Accrington Stanley, where he is listed primarily as a central midfielder. It is still a short career arc: Celtic, Aston Villa, then Accrington – a young player moving from academy football towards the harder business of senior minutes.
