Callumn Morrison: Former Falkirk star makes SPFL return as winger joins Dunfermline Athletic ahead of Scottish Cup weekend.

Former Falkirk star Callumn Morrison has returned to the SPFL after a spell in Northern Ireland - joining the Bairns’ rivals Dunfermline Athletic on a two-and-a-half year contract.

The winger, 26, left John McGlynn’s side last year during the club’s Scottish Championship-winning campaign. He put in a shock transfer request mid-season and eventually left in early February. The Bairns pocketed an undisclosed fee for Morrison and replaced him well - with Falkirk hero Scott Arfield returning to the club and firing the team to the top flight after a 15-year long absence.

And the Alva native is now back in Scottish football with the second-tier Pars, who are managed by Neil Lennon and face Hibs in the Scottish Cup fourth round tomorrow (Saturday) afternoon. Morrison last played for Irish Premiership outfit Linfield in their 1-0 defeat to Glentoran on Boxing Day and has been on the bench for their last three outings.

A statement from the Linfied read: “Linfield Football Club can confirm that Callumn Morrison has completed a transfer to Dunfermline Athletic FC for an undisclosed fee. We would like to place on record our thanks to Callumn for his contribution during his time at Windsor Park. Everyone at the club wishes him every success in his future career.”

An article on Dunfermline Athletic’s website read: “Dunfermline Athletic is delighted to announce the signing of winger Callumn Morrison from Northern Ireland club, Linfield for an undisclosed fee, subject to international clearance. Callumn, 26, joins the club on a two and a half year deal, bringing with him a wealth of experience gained not just in European competition with the Irish League club but with a near 300 appearances in senior football.”
