Macaulay Tait, born on the 27th of August 2005 in Scotland, is a reputable midfielder who primarily showcases his talents as a central midfielder for Livingston, donning the number 25 jersey. Standing at a modest 5ft 6in (1.7m) tall and weighing 11st (70kg), Tait is a force to be reckoned with on the football pitch.
As of current, the young Scot's market value is estimated to be in the region of £170k, as quoted by Transfermarkt.
In July 2020 , Tait embarked on his professional journey by joining Hearts in the Premiership as a trainee, making his debut in the 2023 - 2024 season. Impressively, he illustrated his worth by appearing in 12 league matches for the first team in his maiden season.
In January 2025, Tait switched teams from Hearts to Livingston, also in the Scottish Premiership, albeit on loan. Not succumbing to the pressure of a new environment, he carved out a reputation for being a dependable player, making 15 first-team appearances in league matches for the 2024 - 2025 season. The current 2025 - 2026 season looks promising as Tait has already made 14 appearances in league matches for Livingston.
His stint at Livingston was briefly interrupted in June 2025 when he returned to Hearts on the expiry of his loan period. Nevertheless, Tait re-joined Livingston, again on loan, the following month.
Tait boasts a commendable record with Livingston in cup fixtures. In the League Cup 2025 - 2026, he found the back of the net once in five starts. Meanwhile, in the Premiership Play-offs 2024 - 2025, Tait managed to make three starts and one appearance as a substitute.
