Colby Donovan is a Scottish right-back, born on 7 September 2006 (age 20), and remains part of the current Celtic squad. His career to this point is overwhelmingly a Celtic one, with the usual caveat that young full-backs at this club are judged quickly and often rather impatiently.
Donovan has made 21 league appearances for Celtic across two seasons, with 14 of them coming in 2025-26. He was part of the squad that won Premiership titles in 2024-25 and 2025-26, as well as the League Cup in 2024-25 – honours that put a bit of substance behind the early stages of his senior career.
In 2026-27, his involvement has spread beyond the league. He has made seven league appearances, along with two in the League Cup, two in the Scottish Cup, two in Champions League qualifiers and one in the Europa League. His market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Still early in his career, Donovan’s profile is simple enough: a developing Celtic right-back with domestic medals already behind him and a place in the present squad still to work from.
