Marcelo Saracchi is a Uruguayan left-back, born on 23 April 1998 (age 28), who joined Celtic from Boca Juniors in August 2025. His route to Glasgow had started at Danubio, where his most productive league season came in 2017, with two goals in 10 appearances.
At Celtic, Saracchi has been a regular first-team presence in 2025-26 rather than a fringe addition.

That gives him 23 Celtic appearances in all competitions, with one goal.
He has also remained involved with Uruguay, making five appearances in South American World Cup qualifying during the same season. His market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Saracchi’s career has taken him from Danubio to Boca Juniors and then Celtic, where he is currently part of the senior squad and playing regularly at left-back.
