Born in Scotland on 18 July 2002, Adam Montgomery is a resolute defender, primarily playing as a left back. With a stature of 5ft 8in (1.73m) and tipping the scales at 9st 6lb (60kg), he eschews the number 3 jersey on his back. His current allegiance lies with the team of Livingston after a varied career path.
Montgomery's journey in professional football initiated when he joined Celtic as a trainee in July 2009. Over the course of his career at Celtic, spanning several seasons, Montgomery honed his skills and talent. His inaugural season in 2020 - 2021 at Celtic saw him gracing the pitch in two league matches as part of the first team. Subsequently, in the 2021 - 2022 season, Montgomery made eight appearances as a key player in league matches.
January 2022 marked a transition for Montgomery as he moved from Celtic to Aberdeen, both part of the Scottish Premiership, albeit on loan. In the Aberdeen colours, Montgomery made seven appearances in league matches during the 2021 – 2022 season. This loan stint ended in June 2022 with Montgomery returning to Celtic, his home club.
Upon his return to Celtic, Montgomery continued his consistent performance, making appearances in the first-team during both the 2020 - 2021 and 2021 - 2022 seasons. However, the winds of change took him on loan once again, this time to St Johnstone in the Championship, in July 2022. He made a total of 28 first team appearances in league matches for St Johnstone during the 2022 - 2023 season.
Montgomery's return to Celtic once again in June 2023 wasn't long-lived. In July 2023, he moved on loan to Fleetwood Town in League Two, England before moving to Motherwell in the Premiership in Scotland on loan in January 2024. Each of these swift transitions was followed by a return to Celtic, with him making consistent appearances in the first-team during the 2020 - 2021 and 2021 - 2022 seasons.
February 2025 witnessed another transfer for Montgomery on loan, this time to Queen's Park in the Championship in Scotland. Impressively, during the 2024 - 2025 season, Montgomery marked his presence by scoring a goal alongside 12 first team appearances in league matches. However, his journey with Queen's Park ended in June 2025, with a return to Celtic.
Unable to maintain a long stint at Celtic, in July 2025, Montgomery was loaned out to Livingston in the Premiership, Scotland. In the current season 2025 - 2026, Montgomery has showcased his prowess with eight first team appearances in league matches. Additionally, he demonstrated his scoring ability in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 for Livingston, netting one goal in his solo start.
Despite his transient career path, Montgomery's consistent performances and adaptability signify his commendable dedication to the sport.
