Club career

Celtic

Doohan began his career with Celtic, spending time on loan with Cumbernauld Colts in October 2015, [2] where he made 4 appearances in all competitions. [3] He moved on loan to Greenock Morton in August 2017, [4] [5] returning to Celtic in January 2018, having failed to make any senior appearances whilst at Greenock. [6]

After signing a new four-year contract with Celtic, he moved on loan to Ayr United in July 2018, [7] making his senior debut on 14 July 2018 in a Scottish League Cup game against former club Greenock Morton. [8] [9] Having played for Ayr for the whole of the 2018–19 season, Doohan rejoined Ayr on loan for a second spell in July 2019. [10]

In July 2020 he was linked with a third spell at Ayr. [11] On 1 August 2020 he signed for Ross County on a season-long loan. [12] With Ross Laidlaw largely preferred in goal, he made only five appearances for Ross County and returned to Celtic in January 2021. [13] He then joined Dundee United on an emergency loan in April 2021 following an injury to their first choice-goalkeeper, Benjamin Siegrist. [14]

Tranmere Rovers

In August 2021 he moved on loan to Tranmere Rovers. [15] The transfer became permanent in July 2022. [16]

Forest Green Rovers

He transferred to Forest Green Rovers in January 2023. [17]

Aberdeen

He transferred to Aberdeen in July 2023. [18] He struggled for playing time at Pittodrie, however, with Dimitar Mitov preferred in goal. [19]

His last Aberdeen game was the 2-2 league home draw versus Rangers on 13 April 2025. [20] He was unused from the bench when Aberdeen defeated Celtic on penalties in the 2025 Scottish Cup final. [21]

Doohan was released in May 2025. [22]

Return to Celtic

Doohan returned to Celtic on 20 June 2025, signing a three-year deal with his boyhood club. [23] [24]

International career

Doohan represented Scotland at various youth international levels. [25]

Selected for the Scotland under-20 squad in the 2017 Toulon Tournament, [26] he played in the third place play-off match, as Scotland won the bronze medal. [27] It was the nations first ever medal at the competition. [28] Selected for the under-21 squad in the 2018 Toulon Tournament, [29] he played as the team lost to Turkey in a penalty shoot-out for third-place. [30]

On 8 June 2025, head coach Steve Clarke called up Doohan to the Scotland senior team to travel for the friendly against Liechtenstein on 9 June 2025, following injuries to fellow goalkeepers Zander Clark, Craig Gordon, Angus Gunn, Liam Kelly and Robby McCrorie. [31] Doohan made his international debut in the game, keeping a clean sheet in a 4–0 win. [32]
