Craig Halkett, born on 29 May 1995 (age 31), is a Scottish central defender with Hearts, where he wears the number 4 shirt. He came through at Rangers, but it was early loan football away from Ibrox that helped turn him from a youth prospect into a senior defender with a bit of edge to his game.
His real step forward came at Livingston. By 2018-2019 he was not just playing regularly but contributing at the other end as well, scoring seven league goals in 34 appearances. For a centre-half, that is useful work rather than decoration.
Halkett moved on to Hearts and has remained a regular first-team presence. In 2025-2026, he made 30 league appearances and scored four league goals, along with one Scottish Cup appearance, taking him to 31 games and four goals across all competitions for the season.
Now valued at around £425,000 by Transfermarkt, Halkett’s career has been a steady Scottish route: development football, a productive Livingston spell, and a continuing role at Hearts as an experienced defender.
