Callum James Osmand (born 8 November 2005) is a professional footballer who plays as a forward for Scottish Premiership club Celtic. A former youth international for Wales, he is only eligible to represent England at senior level due to a rule change concerning players from the Channel Islands. [3]
Osmand signed with Premier League club Fulham at youth and development level in 2018, at the age of 13, [1] before signing his first professional contract in June 2023. [4]
On 30 June 2025, Osmand signed a four-year contract with Celtic. [5] He cited the club's "winning mentality" as a reason for joining. [6] Manager Brendan Rodgers said, "We are really pleased to bring Callum to Celtic. He is a highly-rated, talented young player. He has some real attributes. He's a quick and powerful striker and I'm really looking forward to working with him. I'm sure he can be really successful with us". [7] [8] [9]
Despite this praise, Osmand did not play a single minute under Rodgers, failing to even make a matchday squad. [10] After Rodgers' resignation, his replacement Martin O'Neill gave Osmand his debut on 28 October 2025 against Falkirk in the Scottish Premiership, in O'Neill's first game in charge. He came on as a substitute for the final 15 minutes. [11] Four days later, Osmand netted his first senior goal, scoring Celtic's third in their 3–1 victory over Rangers in the Scottish League Cup semi-final. [12] In his third game, a Europa League tie against Midtjylland, he was stretchered off with a hamstring injury. O'Neill stated that Osmand would be out of action "for months". [13]
Osmand was born in Jersey and played for Wales' under-16 and under-17 sides in 2021, which he was eligible to do as the rules at the time permitted someone born in the Channel Islands to represent any UK nation internationally, regardless of family ties. These rules were subsequently changed, however, meaning that Osmand is only eligible to represent England at senior level as he has no Welsh, Scottish or Irish family. [14] [3]
