Macaulay Tait, born on 27 August 2005 (age 20), is a Scottish centre midfielder with Hearts. A compact player at 5ft 7in (1.70m), he is valued at around £425,000 by Transfermarkt.
Although he is a Hearts player, Livingston has so far done most to shape his senior career. Across two seasons there, Tait made 48 league appearances without scoring, gaining the sort of first-team grounding that tends to matter more than tidy youth-team promise.
His Hearts involvement has grown in stages. The 2023-24 season brought 12 league appearances, and by 2025-26 he has become a regular first-team presence, with 33 league appearances and no goals. His career remains at a developing stage, but he is already beyond the margins of senior football.
