Macaulay Tait, a sprightly lad born on the 27th of August 2005, graciously lends his talents to the redoubtable game of football as a midfielder. He hails from the scenic landscapes of Scotland and currently, strings his boots for Livingston, where he serves as a central midfielder. Macaulay, a man of modest stature, stands at a not inconsiderable 5ft 6in (1.7m). His sinewy frame carries a weight of 11st (70kg) and he takes to the field in the number 25 jersey.
The current speculation around Tait's market value hovers approximately around €200k, an estimate provided in good faith by Transfermarkt, which, when translated to grand old sterling, lies in the vicinity of £165,000.
Tait's career runs through a tapestry of Scottish footballing traditions. It was in balmy July of 2020 that he was first signed up by Hearts as a trainee, stepping onto the pitch of the prestigious Premiership. His debut season in 2023 - 2024 at Hearts saw him make a solid 12 appearances in league matches, an admirable feat for a debutante.
In the cold winter transfer window of January 2025, Tait was lent on loan to Livingston from Hearts. During the eclectic season of 2024 - 2025, he held a steady presence, featuring in 15 first team league matches. The stint continued into the 2025 - 2026 season where he’s already staged three performances.
However, as the velvet touch of the summer sun of June 2025 swept across the Highlands, Tait returned to Hearts from his loan at Livingston. Back in familiar terrains, he reprised his role in the debut season of 2023 - 2024 with a dozen appearances.
In the transfer scenarios of July 2025, Tait was on the move again, this time securing another loan from Hearts to Livingston. The continuity of lack of permanence didn't deter his performance and in the ongoing 2025 - 2026 season, he has already made three promising appearances.
The young lad showcased his prowess off the field but not to forget his notable contribution on it. During his time with Livingston, he participated in the League Cup of 2025 - 2026 season where he scored a sublime goal in five starts. He played in the Scottish Cup in 2024 - 2025 with two starts, and the Premiership Play-offs 2024 -2025 where he scored a goal in three starts with an additional off bench appearance.
