Macaulay Tait, a twenty-year-old midfielder, hails from Scotland and regards Livingston's midfield as his hunting ground. At 5ft 6in (1.7m) and tipping the scales at a sturdy 11 stones (70kg), he is a classic example of a robust British footballer. Tait, wearer of the number 25 jersey, operates primarily as a central midfielder.
A moderate estimate of his current market value hovers around approximately £340k, as recorded by Transfermarkt.
Tait's journey with Hearts in the Scottish Premiership began as a trainee in July 2020. During his debut stint for the 2023 - 2024 season, he cut his teeth with 12 first team appearances in league matches.
January 2025 brought a change in Tait's career trajectory, as he was loaned out from Hearts to Livingston, another team competing in the Scottish Premiership. In the season that followed, he graced the pitch 15 times across league matches, a record he is on course to match in his current 2025 - 2026 season.
June 2025 saw Tait return to Hearts following the completion of his loan spell. However, within a month, he was back at Livingston, again on a loan deal. His performance remained consistent, tallying 15 starts in league matches in both his past and current seasons.
In addition to his league appearances, Tait has been instrumental in Livingston's cup efforts. He took to the field five times in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 season, finding the net once. He also participated in the Premiership Play-offs in the 2024 - 2025 season, making a total of four appearances, three as part of the starting lineup and one coming off the bench.
