Blair Spittal, born on 19 December 1995 (age 30), is a Scottish attacking midfielder with Hearts, wearing number 16. He is not a headline act, but he remains a useful first-team presence, the kind of player managers tend to keep involved because he can link play, find pockets, and do a job without much fuss.
His most productive league season came at Motherwell in 2023-24, when he scored nine goals in 37 appearances. That was the campaign which gave his career a sharper edge, moving him beyond the category of tidy Scottish Premiership operator and into one of the more effective midfield contributors outside the league’s richer end.
At Hearts in 2025-26, Spittal has stayed involved, making 22 league appearances and scoring one league goal, along with three League Cup appearances and one in the Scottish Cup. Across all competitions for Hearts that season, he has made 26 appearances and scored once. His current market value is around £680,000, according to Transfermarkt.
Spittal’s career is that of an established Scottish Premiership midfielder: productive at Motherwell, still trusted at Hearts, and continuing to hold a place in the first-team picture.
