Scout report

Experienced headCentral defender

D. Wilson is a 34-year-old central defender at Livingston, rated 15.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 211th of 225 on scout potential in the Premiership. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present this season (80.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.14 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Wilson.

Judged on this season alone, Wilson graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 26th of 35 of the 35 centre-backs in the Premiership, on 3 clean sheets and 2.144 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 27 → 12). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 34th of 35 of the 35 centre-backs in the Premiership. At 34 Wilson is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.4 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (12th of 12) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 80.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 15.8, Wilson carries the 34th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premiership of 35, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Livingston finished 12th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
