Macaulay Tait (born 27 August 2005, age 20) is a Scottish centre midfielder currently with St Johnstone. Compact at 5ft 7in (1.70m), he is not built like the usual midfield enforcer, but his senior career has already carried a fair amount of first-team football.
Livingston has been the main thread so far. Across two seasons there, Tait made 48 league appearances, which is the bulk of his senior profile and the spell that gives most shape to his career. There was also a Hearts involvement in 2023-2024, when he made 12 league appearances.
By 2025-2026, Tait was still firmly in the picture at first-team level, making 33 league appearances. His current market value is around £425,000, according to Transfermarkt.
Tait remains a developing Scottish midfielder with a career built mainly on regular league football at Livingston, followed by continuing involvement with St Johnstone. At this stage, the story is a practical one: games played, experience gathered, and a place still being held in senior football.
