Playing career
Dawson was signed as a sixteen-year-old in 1975 by manager Jock Wallace and made his debut in a pre-season tour in Canada. He was a full back who could play on either side of the pitch.
He never went on to fulfill his potential, partly because of a serious injury sustained during another club tour of Canada, when he fractured his skull. He recovered, and became a Left back. He made a total of 316 appearances for Rangers, scoring 8 goals. He received two Scottish Cup winner's medals, in 1979 and 1981, and four League Cup winner's medals – in 1979, 1984, 1985 and 1987. He was capped five times by Scotland, all while at Rangers.
After 12 years at the club, Dawson left Rangers for Blackburn Rovers in 1987 for £25,000. He signed for Limerick F.C. in 1990 and returned to Scotland later that season with Airdrie, before becoming Player/Manager of Maltese league club Luxol St. Andrews.
Managerial career
He went on to manage Hamilton Academical for a three-year spell between 1999 and 2003 where he won the Scottish Third Division title.
