In January 2011, Watt transferred to Celtic for a fee of around £100k. Here he began to come into his own. He made an initial three first team appearances and scored two goals in his initial season of 2011-2012. Watt continued to show potential in the 2012-2013 season by scoring five goals in 20 first team appearances. However, his prominence at Celtic began to wane in the 2013-2014 season with only two first team appearances.
In August 2013 Watt was loaned to Lierse SK, Belgium, where his first season saw him making 17 first team appearances and scoring eight goals. His subsequent move to Standard Liege was promising, with the move costing around £1.2m. Despite this, Watt's performance was muted with just two goals scored in 13 appearances in the 2014 - 2015 season. The player's career then took him to Charlton Athletic in England for an undisclosed fee, where he displayed a consistent performance, scoring multiple goals across several seasons.
Despite spending time on loan with Cardiff City and then Blackburn Rovers, Watt's performance levels remained consistent. A subsequent loan to Hearts in Scotland saw him continue to get regular game time, scoring one goal in 16 appearances.
Tony Watt has since floated around several clubs including a stint at Oud-Heverlee Leuven in Belgium, St Johnstone in Scotland, and CSKA Sofia in Bulgaria, before finding a home at Motherwell, in Scotland. He had a successful run of seasons in Motherwell starting from 2019, particularly shining in the 2021-2022 season where he made 19 appearances and scored nine goals.
In January 2022, Watt transferred to Dundee United for a fee of around £100k. His time there was punctuated by a short loan to St Mirren, before returning to Dundee United and performing commendably in the 2023-2024 season, scoring 13 goals in 36 appearances.
In 2025, Tony Watt moved to Partick Thistle in the Championship, where he is set to play in the coming 2025-2026 season. Despite his ongoing career moves, Watt continues to demonstrate his passion and skill in the football field.
