An inside forward who could score goals. He was part of a swap deal which brought Alex Ferguson from St Johnstone to East End Park in June 1964.

Dan was born in New Stevenston on 3rd March 1930. He played his early football for Bellshill Athletic. Jock Stein signed him in October 1960 and he broke into the team in January 1961. He was part of the team which won the Scottish Cup in 1961, but having been in the drawn final, Jock changed the team for the replay and Dan missed out. He continued to feature as the Pars entered European football.

He played at EEP until the end of June 1964, when he was transferred to St Johnstone, in a player swap deal which saw Alex Ferguson come to Dunfermline.

Dan found the travelling a bind and later in the year he moved to Partick Thistle, in exchange for Neil Duffy. He featured regularly for the Firhill side until 1970, when they were relegated

He had made his Pars debut against Raith Rovers in January 1961, and went of to make 43 first team appearances, including 3 in the Inter City Fairs Cup. During his time with the Pars he scored 8 goals.

Dan played in three (First Round, Semi-Final and Final) of the eight ties in the winning 1961 Scottish cup run.

After a short break after leaving Partick Thistle, Dan took over as player-manager of Stranraer and followed this with spells at East Stirling and Alloa. Turning, solely to coaching he had spells with East Stirling, Cowdenbeath, Airdrie, Motherwell and Partick Thistle.
