Adam Montgomery, born on 18 July 2002 in Scotland, is a defender famed for his consistent presence at the left-back position for Celtic. At 23 years of age, he stands at 1.73m (5ft 8in) and weighs a tidy 60kg (9st 6lb), wearing the number 37 jersey with pride.
Montgomery’s association with Celtic began in July 2009 when he joined as a trainee. He cut his teeth in the 2020 - 2021 season with two appearances in league matches for Celtic. His game time increased in the 2021 - 2022 season with eight first team appearances. However, in his ongoing 2025 - 2026 season with Celtic, he is yet to make an appearance.
In January 2022, Montgomery sought new experiences and transferred from Celtic to Aberdeen on loan. His time there was brief yet packed with experience, gaining him seven first team league appearances. The current season with Livingston (2025 - 2026) shows promise with the young Scot already clocking in eight appearances.
Despite his time away, Montgomery’s bond with Celtic has always been strong. He returned from Aberdeen to Celtic in June 2022, from St Johnstone to Celtic in June 2023, from Fleetwood Town to Celtic in January 2024, from Motherwell to Celtic in February 2024, from Queen's Park to Celtic in June 2025, and most recently from Livingston to Celtic in January 2026. Each time he returned, he further cemented his position within the Scottish football community.
However, his most noteworthy period came during the 2022 - 2023 season with St Johnstone, when he made a stunning 28 first team appearances in the league. Another notable time in his career would have to be his stint at Queen's Park during the 2024 - 2025 season when he scored his first professional goal.
Adam Montgomery's journey through various Scottish football teams, from Aberdeen to Motherwell, Fleetwood Town, and St Johnstone, has given him a broad perspective and experience in the world of football. Yet it’s his commitment to Celtic, his returns, his trials, and his success at the club, that mark him as a player the team wouldn't want to lose any time soon.
