Marco Tilio

Marco Tilio of Rapid Vienna was born in Sydney, Australia on 23 August 2001 (age 24).

Marco Tilio, born in Hurstville, New South Wales, on 23 August 2001 (age 24), is a compact Australian right winger with Rapid Vienna. At 5ft 7in (1.70m), he is not built to dominate physically, but his career has been shaped around movement, width and final-third involvement. He wears number 23, and his market value is around £680,000, according to Transfermarkt.

Melbourne City has been the main body of his career so far. Across five seasons he made 88 league appearances and scored 20 league goals, with his best return coming in 2022–23, when he scored nine times in 26 league games. That spell did the heavy lifting in building his reputation.

Celtic signed him from Melbourne City in July 2023 for around £1m. It was a notable move from the A-League to Glasgow, but it did not become the central chapter of his career. He left Celtic in August 2025, joining Rapid Vienna for around £1.5m.

At Rapid Vienna in 2025–26, Tilio has been a regular part of the squad. He has made 11 Bundesliga appearances with one goal, along with two Europa play-off appearances and one in the Conference League. Across all competitions for Rapid, he has 14 appearances and one goal, with his form described as solid and consistent.

Tilio’s career is still best read through his Melbourne City years, with Celtic and Rapid Vienna forming the higher-profile moves around that established base. He remains a developing wide player with senior experience in Australia, Scotland and Austria.

Marco Tilio played a squad role for Rapid Vienna in 2025-26, making 11 Bundesliga appearances but only two starts. One league goal from that usage points to a wide player used mainly from the bench, rather than a settled attacking starter. He also appeared three times across European play-off and Conference League fixtures without scoring.

Tilio’s career arc has been uneven. His best output came at Melbourne City, where his goal returns built from one to four and then nine before Celtic moved for him in 2023. The Celtic spell did not develop into a meaningful first-team role, and his subsequent loan back to Melbourne City, then permanent move to Rapid Vienna, suggests a player still trying to convert A-League promise into stable European minutes.

The transfer record shows a sharp rise followed by recalibration. Tilio moved from Sydney FC to Melbourne City on a free transfer, then earned a 1.1m move to Celtic in 2023. A loan back to Melbourne City arrived within the same season, before Celtic sold him to Rapid Vienna for a listed 1.3m fee in 2025 – a move that kept him in Europe, but away from the demands of breaking into Celtic’s front line.
