Macaulay Tait, a twenty-year-old Scotsman who was born on 27 August 2005, is a midfielder who's currently putting in a significant shift for Livingston Football Club. He primarily takes the pitch as a central midfielder, and dons the number 25 jersey with pride. At 5ft 6in (1.7m) tall and a lean 11 stone (70kg), he's an agile specimen of an athlete.
According to renowned football website, Transfermarkt, Tait's current market value stands approximately at £340k.
Journeying back in time, in July 2020, Tait's career trajectory shot him in the direction of Hearts Football Club in the Scottish Premiership. Seizing the opportunity with aplomb, he made twelve startling first team appearances in league matches during his debut season (2023 - 2024).
But Tait's journey at Hearts was Brief. He got an offer which he couldn't refuse in January 2025. Tait found this irresistible urge to take a short detour and journey over to another part of the Premiership, this time joining Livingston on loan. In just one season between 2024 and 2025 at the Club, he made fifteen first team appearances in league matches.
This impressive run continued well into the current season (2025 - 2026) during which he has made twenty-three first team appearances in league matches. But as the saying oft goes, all good things must come to an end and in June 2025, Tait returned from Livingston to Hearts, marking completion of his loan period.
Briefly after in July 2025, Tait sealed another loan move, this time back to Livingston once again. His performance carried on positively into the 2025 - 2026 season with twenty-three first team appearances and he also did his part in the League Cup match, scoring one memorable goal in five starts. He also saw some game time in the Scottish Cup during the same season with one start, and participated enthusiastically in the Premiership Play-offs during the 2024 - 2025 season with three starts and one appearance as a substitute.
All in all, Macaulay Tait's footprint on Scotland's Premiership landscape is all but set, and it's clear to see why he's valued for his impressive skill and tenacity as a central midfielder.
