Adam Montgomery, a defender born on 18 July 2002 (age 22) in Scotland, marked his entry into Celtic as a trainee in July 2009, becoming a regular face on the pitch. Dominating primarily as a left back, Montgomery's 5ft 8in (1.73m) frame and weight of 9st 6lb (60kg) allow him to bring both an aggressive and resilient presence to the game. Known more colloquially by his jersey, number 54.
In the Premiership, Montgomery's debut year of 2020-2021 for Celtic saw him make two appearances in league matches. This was a pattern repeated in the following 2021-2022 season, where he made eight first team appearances. His presence on the pitch stalled in the 2024-2025 season where, thus far, he has made no appearances.
Montgomery's career saw a brief sojourn to Aberdeen on loan in January 2022, where he made seven first team appearances in that season. However, June 2022 marked his return to Celtic on completion of his loan. The habit of short-term transfers continued as just a month later, in July 2022, Montgomery moved to St Johnstone on loan, making a substantial 28 first team appearances that season.
Having returned from St Johnstone in June 2023, Montgomery once again donned the green and white of Celtic. Yet, his tenure was short-lived as he was loaned out yet again in July 2023, this time to Fleetwood Town in the League Two in England. Returning to Celtic in January 2024, the year continued to be one of movement as he made another loan move, this time to Motherwell in the same month. However, the loan was a brief one, and he was back at Celtic by February 2024. To date, in his current season at Celtic, Montgomery has made no first team appearances in league matches.
Undeterred and unyielding, Montgomery continues his journey with Celtic - a place where he has seen much of his footballing career, and no doubt continues to aspire for that consistent first-team place the fans eagerly anticipate.
