Ross Doohan, a native Scot born on March 29, 1998, presently safeguards the goals for Celtic. At 6ft 1in (1.86m) tall and weighing in at 11st 11lb (75kg), he is a formidable presence between the sticks. Transfermarkt pegs his market worth close to £212,000. Doohan is set to don the green and white hoops till 31 May 2028, given his contract's remaining term of 2 years and 11 months.
Doohan's association with Celtic started much earlier though. In August 2017, he was lent out to Greenock Morton from Celtic. In the 2017 - 2018 season, he was defending the Championship side's post under the tenure. He later moved further afield in July 2018, when he was loaned to Ayr United, marking another season in the Championship.
August 2020 saw Doohan making tracks to the Championship side, Ross County, on a loan spell from Celtic. He quickly made his mark, guarding the goalposts five times in the league during the 2020 - 2021 season. A year later, in April 2021, Doohan was on the move again, this time to Dundee United, as part of yet another loan spell from his parent club, Celtic. He manned the sticks twice for them in the 2020 - 2021 Premiership season. His loan concluded in June 2021, upon which he returned to Celtic and is set to play in the 2025 - 2026 season.
Interestingly, within two months of rejoining Celtic in 2021, Doohan made a loan move to England's League Two side, Tranmere Rovers. The 2022 - 2023 season saw him making 25 appearances for the Rovers. In June 2022, Doohan ended his stint with Tranmere and once more returned to Celtic, ready to compete in the 2025 - 2026 season.
In a surprising move, Tranmere Rovers managed to secure Doohan again, this time on a permanent transfer from Celtic, for an undisclosed fee in July 2022. However, his stay in England was short-lived as he transferred to Forest Green Rovers of the National League in January 2023, for an undisclosed amount. Splitting his season between two clubs, Doohan featured in ten games for Forest Green.
Doohan's approach to his career took an about-face in July 2023, when he charted a journey back to Scotland, signing for Aberdeen after leaving Forest Green Rovers for an undisclosed fee. Across two seasons with Aberdeen (2023 - 2025), he was chosen 16 times to defend the Dons in league matches.
Indeed, Ross Doohan's story so far has been a storied tapestry of loan spells and transfers, intertwined with a steadfast association with Celtic. Safe to say, there's much interest in seeing how it unfolds further.
