Macaulay Tait, whose birthdate traces back to 27 August 2005, owing him credit of only 20 years on the clock, proudly flaunts his Scottish heritage. The young prodigy, standing at a stature of 5ft 6in (1.7m) and tipping the scales at 11st (70kg), takes on the football field as a central midfielder by disposition, currently showcasing his craft for Livingston. As a testament to his athletic prowess, the number 25 jersey is a garment well suited for his richly earned place within the fold.
A cursory glimpse at Transfermarkt reveals a figure circling around £340k as the midfielder's current market value.
Returning to the summer of 2020, Tait first dipped his toes into the Premiership in Scotland, joining the reputable Hearts as a trainee. His debut season in 2023 - 2024 saw him gracing the pitch in 12 first team appearances within the league matches.
The month of January in 2025 announced a change of scenery for Tait, with the youngster being sent on loan from the Hearts brigade to Livingston. In his first season at his new post in the Premiership, Tait followed through with 15 first team appearances, with the current season (2025 - 2026) seeing him increase his tally to 21 first team appearances in league matches.
The latter half of 2025 sparked up another twist in Tait’s career, with his loan period reaching its end, he made a swift return to his former squad at Hearts in the Premiership. However, his stint was short-lived, as by July 2025, he was back roaming the playing turf of Livingston on an additional loan spell. His return to Livingston was accompanied by a rise in his game appearances, making 15 first team appearances during the 2024 - 2025 season, and stepping up that count to 21 for the ongoing season of 2025 - 2026.
It is also worth noting Tait's involvement in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 season, where he found the back of the net once in five starts. Additionally, he made a commendable single start in the Scottish Cup 2025 - 2026 for Livingston and made a total of four appearances (three starts and one substitution) in the Premiership Play-offs for the 2024 - 2025 season.
