Colby Donovan, born on 7 September 2006 (age 19), is a Scottish right-back whose senior career has been shaped almost entirely at Celtic. His profile remains a modest one, but he is already part of a squad that has collected two Premiership titles, in 2024/2025 and 2025/2026, along with the 2024/2025 League Cup.
Donovan’s busiest league campaign so far came in 2025/2026, when he made 14 Premiership appearances for Celtic. In 2026/2027, he has added five more league appearances, along with one in the League Cup, two in the Scottish Cup and two in Champions League qualifying, taking him to 10 Celtic appearances across all competitions for the season.
Across his Celtic league career, Donovan has made 19 appearances over two seasons. His current market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt. At this stage, his career is a straightforward Celtic story: a young Scottish full-back in and around the first team, with honours already attached and more work still in front of him.
