Club career

edit

Motherwell

edit

Raised in Carfin,[2] Hastie joined the Motherwell Youth Academy in 2009. He was selected for the Scotland football team (represented by North Lanarkshire school pupils) at the 2014 International Children's Games alongside Well colleague David Turnbull,[2] who had already been a teammate for several years during their youth careers.[3] On 27 April 2016, Hastie was part of the Motherwell team that won the Scottish Youth Cup, beating Heart of Midlothian 5–2.[4]

On 15 October 2016, Hastie made his senior debut for Motherwell as a substitute in a 2–0 defeat against Celtic.[5] He signed a new two-and-a-half-year deal with Motherwell in January 2017.[6]

In August 2017, he went out on a six-month development loan to Airdrieonians[7] which was subsequently extended until the end of the season. He was loaned to Alloa Athletic in July 2018.[8]

On his first league start for Motherwell on 23 January 2019, with a "slick move", Hastie provided David Turnbull with an assist for the only goal of a win over Hibernian.[3][9] On 2 February it was the role of Turnbull, via a free kick, to set up a headed goal for Hastie – who also netted the third – in a 3–0 victory over Livingston.[10] Hastie then scored again four days later with the first goal of the match, a "stunning 20-yard drive", as Motherwell defeated St Mirren 2–1,[11] and on 17 February opened the scoring again as his team defeated Hearts at Fir Park by the same scoreline.[12] As his good form drew increasing attention from supporters and the media, he commented that he was an admirer of Gareth Bale and had been studying the Welsh player's moves to improve his game.[13] In March 2019 he won the Scottish Premiership Player of the Month award for February, and was linked with a transfer to a bigger club.[14] Hastie was nominated for the 2018–19 PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year, along with David Turnbull; the award was won by Ryan Kent.[15]

Rangers

edit

On 1 May 2019, Rangers announced that Hastie had agreed a pre-contract with the club, signing a four-year contract with the move to be completed in the coming summer[16] and a compensation payment to be made to Motherwell in recognition of his development at the club, reported as being around £350,000.[17]

On 3 July 2020, Hastie made a return to Motherwell on a season-long loan deal.[21]

Hastie was loaned to Scottish Championship club Partick Thistle in August 2021.[22] He returned to Rangers in January 2022.
