Ben McPherson, born on 19 March 2004 (age 22), is a Scottish right-back whose early route took him from Queen’s Park to Celtic in June 2024. That Celtic connection is part of the story, but not the main one. His senior football has been shaped much more clearly by Partick Thistle.
McPherson left Celtic for Partick Thistle in July 2026, and Firhill is where his career has gathered proper substance. Across two seasons with Thistle he has made 31 league appearances and scored twice, with the 2025-2026 campaign his most productive league season.
In 2025-2026, he has been a regular first-team presence for Partick, making 31 Championship appearances, scoring two goals, along with three Scottish Cup appearances and four in the Premiership play-offs. Across all competitions for Thistle, he has made 38 appearances and scored two goals.
McPherson’s career to this point is straightforward enough: a young Scottish full-back with an early Celtic stop on the way, but a Partick Thistle player in any meaningful reading of his senior record.
