Colby Donovan, born on 7 September 2006 (age 19), is a Scottish right-back in Celtic’s first-team squad. There is no need to dress it up too much: he is a young defender being used often enough to matter, rather than a name hovering around the edges.
In 2025-2026, Donovan has made 14 league appearances for Celtic, with further outings in the cups and in Europe. He has played twice in the League Cup, twice in the Scottish Cup, once in Champions League qualifying and eight times in the Europa League, taking him to 27 appearances in all competitions for the club. He has yet to score.
His current market value is around £850,000, according to Transfermarkt. For now, his career is straightforward enough: a Scottish right-back getting regular senior football at Celtic and building a first-team record in the 2025-2026 season.
