Colby Donovan, born on 7 September 2006 (age 19), is a Scottish right-back whose senior career has so far been shaped almost entirely at Celtic. Still part of the current Celtic side, he has 16 league appearances across two seasons, with 14 of them coming in 2025-26.
His Celtic spell has already brought silverware. Donovan was part of the squad that won Premiership titles in 2024-25 and 2025-26, as well as the League Cup in 2024-25. That is a fair start for a young full-back, even allowing for the usual need to sort promise from substance.
In 2026-27, he has made two league appearances, two Scottish Cup appearances and eight in the Europa League, giving him 12 Celtic appearances across all competitions for the season. His current market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Donovan’s career remains a Celtic story: a young Scottish right-back building his place in a squad where medals have arrived early and the harder work is establishing himself over time.
