Ben McPherson, a Scottish-born defender, joined the Celtic premiership team in Scotland in July 2019. Born on 19 March 2004, McPherson brings a solid physical presence to the field, standing at a tower-like 5ft 11in (1.81m) and weighing in at a sturdy 11st 6lb (73kg). His primary position is right back and notably sports the number 24 jersey.
His time with Celtic would witness a loan move in August 2023, seeing him switch from the Premiership level to Championship level, playing with Queen’s Park. In his 2023 - 2024 debut season for Queen's Park, McPherson didn’t fail to impress as he made a remarkable 24 first team appearances in league matches.
In June 2024, McPherson was called back to Celtic after completion of his loan spell. His tenacity in the field and prodigious development led to another loan in August 2025, this time to Partick Thistle, also a Championship side in Scotland. Currently, in the 2025 - 2026 season at Partick Thistle, McPherson has shown promising performances, making seven first team appearances in league matches.
Not one to rest on his laurels, McPherson even participated in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 for Partick Thistle, securing a place in the starting eleven.
From these multiple loan spells and impressive on-field records, it's clear that McPherson, while still blossoming as a player, is a notable asset who brings vitality and defensive solidity to the teams he's affiliated with. His ongoing development will indeed be engaging to follow.
