Scout report

Squad depthCentral defender

L. Morrison is a 23-year-old central defender at Aberdeen, rated 41.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 170th of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (32.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.02 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Morrison.

Judged on this season alone, Morrison graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 58th of 82 of the 82 centre-backs in the Championship, on 3 clean sheets and 3.022 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 11 → 11). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 42, top 31% of the 82 centre-backs in the Championship. At 23 Morrison is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 9.3 reflects that trajectory.

  • Game time. Only 32.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 41.5, Morrison carries the 25th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship of 82 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
