Jamie McCart, born on 20 June 1997 (age 29), is a Scottish central defender with a Celtic beginning but a career built mostly away from Glasgow.
He came through at Celtic as a trainee before leaving in July 2018 for Inverness CT. That move gave him the platform to become a senior professional rather than another academy name drifting around the margins.
His career is most strongly tied to St Johnstone. Across three league seasons there, he made 82 league appearances and scored once, with his busiest campaign coming in 2021-2022, when he played 37 league matches. He also won a Scottish Cup and a League Cup during that spell, which gives the period a weight the rest of his career has not quite matched.
McCartโs route also took in Rotherham United before Hearts, where he remains part of the first-team picture. In 2026-2027 he has made 20 appearances across all competitions for Hearts, including 10 in the league and further outings in domestic cups and European qualifiers.
It is a solid Scottish career with a clear shape: Celtic development, senior grounding elsewhere, a defining St Johnstone spell, and continuing involvement at Hearts.
