Career
Crossan started his career with Yett Farm Boys Club[1] and Fife Elite Football Academy, before signing with Dunfermline Athletic in 2014.[3] Initially playing in the U20s squad, Crossan eventually progressed to the Pars first-team, making two substitutes in Scottish League One towards the end of the 2015–16 season.[4] His first appearance came as a substitute in a 6–1 defeat of Stranraer,[5] whilst his second came in Dunfermline's League One title winning match against Brechin City,[5] coming on as an 89th minute-substitute and setting up a goal.[6]
He signed for Celtic on 4 July 2016 for an undisclosed transfer fee.[7] In August 2017, and after a year playing with Celtic's development side, Crossan was sent on loan to Scottish League One club Alloa Athletic, until January 2018.[8] The loan was subsequently extended until the end of the season.[9]
Crossan was loaned to Stranraer at the end of September 2018.[10]
