Darra Dawson

The young defender is one of the latest prospects to make the step up from the Academy, having now joined up permanently with Elena Sadiku’s squad.

Dawson is a left-footed centre-back, who can also offer versatility in the backline, with good ability in possession as well as defence.

The teenager’s debut for the club came midway through the 2024/25 campaign, where she featured from the start in the Scottish Cup against Glasgow Girls & Women.

She went on to make three appearances in total, including during the final day victory at Paradise over Motherwell.

With international caps at under-17 and under-16 level for Scotland, Dawson will be aiming to continue making her mark for the Hoops.
