Stephen Welsh

Stephen Welsh spent most of his career at Celtic, and it was there he collected the bulk of his honours: four Scottish Premiership titles, two Scottish Cups and three Scottish League Cups. The league titles came in 2019–20, 2021–22, 2022–23 and 2023–24. The cups arrived in 2021–22, 2022–23, 2023–24 and 2024–25, with the Scottish Cup wins in the last two of those title seasons.

He came through the Celtic academy and signed his first professional contract in March 2018. First-team football came by way of a loan at Greenock Morton in 2019–20. In February 2020 he made his senior debut for Celtic, in the same season as the first of those league titles.

Later years were spent moving out on loan. He went to Mechelen in Belgium in January 2025, then joined Motherwell in September 2025. That spell ran until January 2026. He went back to Motherwell on loan in February 2026, when he took squad number 57.

In June 2026 his time at Celtic ended. His contract was terminated by mutual consent, and he signed for Swansea City on a free transfer.

At international level, his most recent appearance came for Scotland Under-21s in June 2022. In September 2026 he received his first senior call-up for Scotland, though he had not won a senior cap at the time of writing.
