Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Tait.
Judged on this season alone, Tait graded 29 — a solid campaign that ranks top 38% of the 40 defensive midfielders in the Premiership, on 0 goals, 4 assists and 2.302 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 29).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 50, top 13% of the 40 defensive midfielders in the Premiership. At 20 Tait is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 26.2 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Tait is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
2.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 38 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (12th of 12) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 49.8, Tait carries the 5th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premiership (top 13%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Livingston finished 12th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~31), then tapers with age. At 20, Tait sits on 26.2, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Tait's projected Rating — 49.8 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
