Club career

A product of Celtic's youth system,[2] McCart made his competitive debut for the Glasgow club as a substitute against Motherwell in the Scottish League Cup during August 2016.[3]

On 31 January 2017, McCart joined Inverness Caledonian Thistle on a loan deal until the end of the season.[4] He then made an emergency loan move to St Mirren in September 2017,[5] and returned to Celtic at the end of the year having made just three appearances for the Buddies.[6] McCart moved on loan again in January 2018, joining Scottish League One side Alloa Athletic until the end of the season.[7]

McCart returned to Inverness ahead of the 2018–19 season,[8] signing a two-year contract with the club.[9]

McCart signed a pre-contract agreement with St Johnstone in January 2020.[10] Later in the month, Inverness and St Johnstone agreed a deal that allowed him to join the Saints immediately.[11] He quickly established a defensive partnership with Jason Kerr and Liam Gordon.[2]

International career

In March 2017 he made his debut for the Scotland Under-21 side in a friendly against Estonia.[12][13]

Personal life

He is the son of former Motherwell defender Chris McCart, who is now the Head of Celtic's Youth Academy.[14]
