Adam Montgomery, a Scottish-born defender, was born on 18 July 2002. Primarily suited to the role of a left back, Montgomery added to his versatility by donning the number 37 jersey for Celtic Football Club. Standing at 5ft 8in (1.73m) tall, and weighing a trim 9st 6lb (60kg), his physicality is reliable for a defender.
Montgomery's professional journey began at Celtic, where he came on board as a trainee in July 2009. It was not until the 2020 - 2021 season when he made his first team appearance in league matches. Two appearances were recorded for the season, a number subsequently dwarfed by eight appearances in the next season, in the 2021 - 2022 duration.
A short stint away from Celtic occurred in January 2022, with Montgomery loaned to Aberdeen. Dressed in Aberdeen colours, he made seven first team appearances before returning to his home club (Celtic) in June later that year.
The subsequent season after his return, Montgomery was loaned again, this time to St Johnstone. It was here that he found some rhythm in his playing opportunities, racking up a noteworthy 28 first team appearances in league matches during the season of 2022 - 2023.
Upon his return to Celtic in June 2023, Montgomery found himself wearing the colours of another Football League Two side, Fleetwood Town, as part of a loan agreement. He made his return to Celtic in January 2024, having tasted yet another tier of football outside Celtic.
Even his return in 2024 did not signal the end of loan spells for Montgomery. The dynamic defender was again dispatched to Motherwell in the same month, only to be recalled a month later in February 2024. On his return to Celtic, the appearances were again sparse for Montgomery. The same pattern continued into the 2025 - 2026 season, where no first team appearances have been recorded for him at Celtic.
However, his loan stint at Queen's Park in the Championship from February to June 2025 was fruitful, scoring his first league goal in between a twelve first team appearance run for the club. Upon returning to Celtic in the summer, he remained until July 2025 where he was loaned to Livingston in Scotland. The current 2025 - 2026 season sees Montgomery making eight appearances for Livingston, before returning to Celtic once again in January 2026.
Despite the multitude of loans, Montgomery continues to be a cherished Celtic player. Optimum use of these loans has allowed for a diverse growth of his footballing abilities and has placed him at disposal of Celtic where he remains a loyal servant to the club.
