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.[6] In the 89th minute, Crossan replaced Ryan Wallace and within two minutes of entering the pitch, had set up a cross for in-form striker Faissal El Bakhtaoui helping the French Moroccan to his first career hat-trick.[7]

He signed for Celtic on 4 July 2016 for an undisclosed transfer fee.[8]
