Ewan Otoo

Ewan Otoo of Dunfermline Athletic was born in Glasgow, Scotland on 30 August 2002 (age 23).

Ewan Otoo, born on 30 August 2002 (age 23), is a Scottish central defender whose senior career has been shaped far more by Dunfermline Athletic than by his early time at Celtic.

He came through at Celtic, but his route into first-team football was always likely to need minutes elsewhere. Those early loan steps gave him the practical part of his education, away from the cleaner promise of academy football and into games that actually count.

Otoo left Celtic for Dunfermline Athletic in July 2023, and that move has become the main line of his career. Across four seasons with the Pars, he has made 79 league appearances and scored five league goals, establishing himself as a regular rather than a passing squad name.

His most productive league season came in 2024–25, when he scored three goals in 36 appearances. In 2025–26, he has made 10 league appearances without scoring, alongside four League Cup outings, taking him to 14 appearances in all competitions for Dunfermline that season.

Otoo remains a developing professional, but his career is already clearly centred on Dunfermline: a Celtic departure who found his senior footing at East End Park.

Otoo’s career path is a fairly clear post-Celtic progression: a loan to Clyde, then a loan to Dunfermline Athletic, followed by a permanent move to East End Park. At 23, he is now beyond the development-loan stage and trying to establish himself as a regular Championship-level defender.

The transfer record shows a staged exit from Celtic rather than a sudden break. Clyde was an early loan move, Dunfermline then took him on loan in February 2023, and the deal was made permanent that summer for an undisclosed fee – a move down from Celtic’s squad environment but towards more realistic senior involvement.
