Career & Clubs
Celtic
Findlay came through the youth system at Celtic, making his first-team debut in a friendly against Norwich City. He also captained Celtic at under-17 level, and featured regularly for the Development side, taking part in the UEFA Youth League and the English Premier League International Cup.
Greenock Morton (loan)
In January 2014, Findlay signed for Greenock Morton on loan until the end of the season. He made his debut on 1 February in a 1–1 draw against league leaders Falkirk, turning in an impressive performance.

Findlay was first called into the Scotland under-21 squad in November 2012 by coach Ricky Sbragia for a friendly against Portugal. His 13th and final cap at this age level was in October 2015 against France at Pittodrie Stadium. Findlay received his first call-up to the senior Scotland squad in March 2019 for games against Kazakhstan and San Marino. He earned his first full international cap on 13 October 2019 in a 6–0 win over San Marino at Hampden Park, in which he played the full 90 minutes and scored Scotland's 5th goal.
