Colby Donovan, born on 7 September 2006 (age 19), is a Scottish right-back whose senior career has been shaped almost entirely at Celtic. Still part of the current squad, he sits in that awkward but useful bracket: young enough to be developing, involved enough that he is no longer just a name from the academy fringes.
His Celtic record stands at 16 league appearances across two seasons, with 14 of those coming in 2025-26. He has also been part of a successful period for the club, winning two Premiership titles, in 2024-25 and 2025-26, as well as the 2024-25 League Cup. That is a decent medal haul before a career has properly settled into shape.
In 2026-27, Donovan has made two league appearances, along with outings in the League Cup, Scottish Cup and Champions League qualifiers, taking him to seven Celtic appearances across all competitions for the season. His current market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
For now, Donovan’s story is a Celtic one: a young Scottish full-back trying to turn squad involvement and early honours into something more permanent.
