Adam Montgomery, born on 18 July 2002 and aged 23, is a Scottish defender who currently sports the number 3 jersey for Livingston, primarily operating as a left back. Standing at 5ft 8in (1.73m) and weighing at 9st 6lb (60kg), Montgomery has carved out an exciting career in Scottish football.
Beginning his journey as a trainee, Montgomery joined Celtic in July 2009 and became a part of their Premiership team in Scotland. He made his first team debut in the 2020-2021 season, playing two league matches. With the following season seeing him participate in eight matches.
January 2022 brought the first of many loan spells for Montgomery. First, he transferred to Aberdeen, another Premiership team in Scotland, made seven first team appearances. He then coyly returned to his home team, Celtic, in June 2022 just to wave goodbye again in July 2022 when he transferred to St Johnstone in the Championship, where he made 28 first team appearances in the 2022-2023 season.
In the wake of the 2023 season, Montgomery returned to Celtic once again. However, his football journey didn't stop in Scotland. In July 2023, he spread his wings and transferred to Fleetwood Town in the League Two in England on loan.
Yet Celtic seemed to have a gravitational pull for Montgomery who returned again in January 2024 only to be transferred on loan once again, this time to Motherwell in the Premiership in Scotland. A month later saw Montgomery return to Celtic before being loaned, in February 2025, to Queen's Park in the Championship. Here, Montgomery made 12 first team appearances and even managed to find the back of the net in league matches during the 2024-2025 season.
In June 2025 Montgomery returned, perhaps unsurprisingly at this stage, to Celtic. However, his final loan spell, starting in July 2025, saw him join Livingston in the Premiership. Here, in the current season (2025-2026), he has made two first team appearances and certainly made his mark in the League Cup 2025-2026, where he's already scored one goal in one start.
Considering Montgomery's repeated pattern of returning to Celtic, only time will tell where this exciting player's career will take him next.
