Marco Tilio

Marco Tilio

Marco Tilio of Celtic was born in Sydney, Australia on 23 August 2001 (age 23).

Marco Tilio, a young Australian forward, was born on 23 August 2001, making him 23 years old. Primarily playing as a left winger for the historic Celtic Football Club, he stands at 5ft 6in (1.7m) and weighs in at 10st 7lb (67kg). He currently dons the number 23 jersey on his back and has experienced the honour of representing his home country, Australia, on the footballing stage.

As per the records available on Transfermarkt, Tilio's current market value hovers around £760k, which in of itself speaks volumes of the potential he possesses. His contractual obligation with Celtic is due to conclude shortly, with his contract set to expire on 30 June 2025. Transfermarkt serves as a prime source of this information.

Tilio initiated his professional journey in football with Sydney FC in the A-League in Australia, joining them in July 2018. During his debut season in 2019-2020, he managed to secure three first team appearances and even scored a goal in the league matches.

In September 2020, the Aussie forward made a move from Sydney FC to Melbourne City, another club participating in the Aussie A-League. Here, Tilio began to make his mark more prominently, making 20 first team appearances and scoring a goal in his first season. His performance gradually improved in subsequent seasons, with Tilio scoring four and then nine goals in the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 seasons. He contributed a further five goals during his partial season in 2024

Subsequent to his successful stint in Australia, Tilio was transferred to Celtic in the Scottish Premiership for a fee of approximately £1.1m in July 2023. However, his breakthrough in Celtic was somewhat limited, with only two first team appearances in the 2023-2024 season.

Following a somewhat muted season with Celtic, in February 2024, Tilio was transferred back to Melbourne City in the A-League in Australia on a loan deal. The winger continued to impress on return to Australia, maintaining a consistent performance across multiple seasons. However, in June 2025, following the completion of his loan spell at Melbourne, Tilio made a return to Celtic in Scotland where he's positioned to inject his experience and talent into the ongoing 2025 - 2026 season.
