Chalmers played for 13 seasons for Celtic between February 1959 and September 1971, helping the side to 6 league titles, 3 Scottish Cups and 5 League Cups, as well as being part of the Lisbon Lions side. After leaving Parkhead, he had brief spells with Greenock Morton and Partick Thistle before his playing retirement in 1975. (He did make a very brief comeback with St Roch's during the 1975–76 season.)
