Alan Morrison was a Youth and Reserve team player with Celtic. He never played a first team representative game for the club.
Born in Ayr, Morrison attended Queen Margaret's School, Ayr. He was signed as a Youth team player on the 1/8/97 and given a two year contract on turning 16 (as were most of the new intake at this time). In his first season me played a decent number of games for the Youths with injuries to Jim Gallagher and McCondichie out on loan. He was part of a representative Celtic Youth side that attended the Bourg Blanc Youth Tournament in April 1998.
Through 1998/99 he was in competion with Jim Gallagher for a starting position with either the Youths or U21's. He still made enough respectable appearances to warrant the club giving him a further two year contract to July 2001 at the end of his first youth deal. His progress continued through 2000/2001 making more appearances without ever looking close to the first team squad.
He was given a 1 year extension to July 2002 and continued with a similar performance as seen the previous season and was released along with a raft of others in May 2002.
He briefly joined Carlisle Utd before returning to Scotland and signing for Clyde on 23/8/02. He was used by Clyde as the Reserve team goalkeeper. Clyde thought quite highly of his performance and he played regularly. His contract was renewed at the end of 02/03 and he continued as Reserve team keeper and understudy to first team GK Halliwell. Out of contract at the end of 04/05 he moved to Stranraer where he was the backup for another ex-bhoy Barry John Corr. On 1/7/06 joined Glenafton and he continues to play for the Junior side.
