Tony Watt, born in Coatbridge on 29 December 1993 (age 32), is a Scottish striker now with Partick Thistle, wearing squad number 32. Celtic brought him in from Airdrieonians in January 2011 for around £100,000, an early move that put him into a far bigger environment while he was still a teenager.
His Celtic spell gave him the platform, but not a settled long-term route. In July 2014 he left for Standard Liege for around £1m, and the years that followed took him through Standard, Charlton Athletic, Oud-Heverlee Leuven, St Johnstone, CSKA Sofia, Dundee United and Partick Thistle before a more established period at Motherwell.
Watt’s most productive league campaign came with Dundee United in 2023-2024, when he scored 13 goals in 36 appearances. By 2025-2026 he was again a regular first-team presence at Partick Thistle, making 40 appearances in all competitions and scoring nine goals, including six in the Championship and three in the Scottish Cup.
His current market value is around £128,000, according to Transfermarkt. His career has moved well beyond the early Celtic connection, but that remains the point from which a varied senior career began.
