Aidan Nesbitt

Aidan Nesbitt of Falkirk was born in Paisley, Scotland on 5 February 1997 (age 29).

Aidan Nesbitt, born on 5 February 1997 (age 29), is a Scottish attacking midfielder whose senior career began with Celtic before he moved south to MK Dons in August 2017.

His best league return came immediately after that move, with two goals in 14 appearances for MK Dons in 2017-18. It was a modest start to senior football, but it gave him regular exposure away from the comforts and expectations of Celtic’s system.

Falkirk has been the main body of his career. Across three seasons, Nesbitt has made 66 league appearances and scored four league goals for the club, operating primarily as a central attacking midfielder. In 2025-26, he has made four league appearances without scoring, along with five League Cup appearances and one in the Scottish Cup.

His current market value is around £170,000, according to Transfermarkt. Nesbitt’s career has moved from Celtic promise to a more settled role at Falkirk, where most of his senior football has been played.

Aidan Nesbitt has been a fringe option for Falkirk in the 2025-26 Premiership, with four league appearances and only one start. With no goals in the league and none across six domestic cup outings, the numbers point to a squad role rather than a decisive attacking contribution at this stage of the season.

Nesbitt’s career has moved from Celtic into a circuit of UK and Scottish clubs, including MK Dons, Dundee United, Greenock Morton and Falkirk. At 29, the pattern suggests a player who has remained useful at senior level but has not developed into a regular top-flight goalscorer, with his later career shaped more by squad value and versatility than clear upward progression.

The transfer record is low-cost and pragmatic. Celtic received an undisclosed fee when Nesbitt joined MK Dons in 2017, but his subsequent moves to Dundee United, Greenock Morton and Falkirk were all free transfers, followed by a loan from Falkirk to Arbroath. That sequence points to a career built on opportunity and availability rather than rising market demand.
