Alistair Davidson’s season at Dunfermline Athletic is still at a very small sample size – two Championship appearances, both starts, with no goals or cards. For a 20-year-old central defender, the numbers point more to a squad or development role than an established first-team place, although starting both of his league outings suggests he has been trusted when selected.

The transfer record is straightforward: Davidson left Celtic for Dunfermline Athletic on a free transfer in July 2025, then went to Kelty Hearts on loan in February 2026 before returning at the end of April. The free transfer from Celtic points to a clean break rather than a fee-driven move, while the Kelty loan indicates Dunfermline were looking to give him a lower-pressure route to senior football.
