Club career
Raised in Larkhall,[2] Lindsay started his career with Celtic. He played regularly for their development sides including scoring against A.C. Milan in the UEFA Youth League.[2]
He joined Scottish Championship side Dumbarton on loan in July 2015.[3] Making his senior debut for the club in a 3–2 victory over Morton on 26 July 2015.[4] He extended his loan deal for the rest of the season in January after winning the club's November/December player of the month award.[5] He won the club's Young Player of the Year award before returning to Celtic.[6]
Lindsay joined Morton on loan in July 2016 for the season.[7] He scored his first senior goal on his debut against Berwick Rangers[8]
On 3 July 2017, Lindsay joined Ross County on loan until the end of the season.[9][10] He scored his first career professional league goal during this time, in a 2–1 away win at Dundee. He signed a permanent deal with the Staggies in June 2018.[11]
Rotherham United
On 24 July 2019, Lindsay joined EFL League One side Rotherham United for an undisclosed fee, signing a three-year contract with the club.[12]
In May 2024, Rotherham confirmed that Lindsay would be departing the club upon the expiration of his contract.[13] Despite having been offered a new contract, new manager Steve Evans confirmed that personal terms could not be agreed.[14]
Bristol Rovers
On 12 July 2024, Lindsay signed for League One club Bristol Rovers on a three-year deal with the option for a further season.[15] The move saw him reunite with former Rotherham manager Matt Taylor.
