Macaulay Tait

In Premiership 2026 - 2027 Tait has made six appearances — all as a substitute — and totals 0 goals; that usage profile marks him as a bench option for St Johnstone rather than a regular starter and suggests his role is to provide midfield minutes late in matches.

Tait averages a 6.64 season rating with a narrow range between 6.26–6.95, which points to steady, mid-6 performances and relative consistency across his appearances this campaign.

Tait is a 21-year-old Scottish centre midfield who progressed through Hearts' academy from July 2020, spent a loan spell at Livingston in January 2025 and completed a permanent move to St Johnstone in July 2026; the trajectory follows a common development path from academy to loan to a permanent transfer as he seeks sustained senior involvement.

Tait moved to St Johnstone from Hearts for an undisclosed fee in July 2026 after a loan to Livingston in January 2025; his pathway into Hearts began with entry to the club's academy in July 2020, indicating transfers focused on development and securing first-team opportunities.
