Marco Tilio, born in Hurstville, New South Wales, on 23 August 2001 (age 24), is an Australian right winger now with Rapid Vienna. Compact at 5ft 7in (1.70m), he has usually been used from the right, where his career has been built more on movement and bursts than any great physical presence.
Melbourne City has done most to shape his career. Across five seasons there, Tilio made 88 league appearances and scored 20 league goals, with his best return coming in 2022-2023, when he scored nine times in 26 league games. That spell gave him the platform for a move to Europe and remains the most substantial part of his senior record.
Celtic signed him from Melbourne City in July 2023 for around £1m. It was an intriguing deal rather than a headline one, and his time in Glasgow never overtook what he had already done in Australia. In August 2025, he left Celtic for Rapid Vienna for around £1.5m.
At Rapid, where he wears number 23, Tilio has had a steady if unspectacular 2025-2026 season. He has made 11 league appearances and scored once, with one further outing in the Conference League, taking him to 12 appearances and one goal in all competitions for the club. His current market value is around £680,000, according to Transfermarkt.
Tilio’s career so far is still best understood through Melbourne City, with Celtic and Rapid Vienna sitting between his Australian breakthrough and his attempt to settle properly in European football.
