Marco Tilio, born in Hurstville, New South Wales, on 23 August 2001 (age 25), is an Australian right winger now with Rapid Vienna. Compact at 5ft 7in (1.70m), he has usually done his best work from wide areas rather than as a touchline ornament.
His career is still shaped most clearly by Melbourne City. Across five seasons there, he made 88 league appearances and scored 20 league goals, with his strongest return coming in 2022–23 when he scored nine times in 26 league matches. That spell gave him the platform for a move to Europe and, briefly, to Celtic.
Celtic signed Tilio from Melbourne City in July 2023 for around £1m. It was a move with obvious logic on paper – a young Australian attacker with production behind him – but his time in Glasgow never became the main part of his story. In August 2025, he left Celtic for Rapid Vienna in a deal worth around £1.5m.
At Rapid, where he wears squad number 23, he has made 10 appearances in 2026–27, scoring once in Conference League qualifying. His early involvement has also included Bundesliga matches and Europa play-off appearances. His market value is around £680,000, according to Transfermarkt.
Tilio’s career to this point is best understood through Melbourne City, with Celtic and Rapid Vienna forming the European chapters around that longer, more productive Australian spell.
