Daniel Handling (born 6 February 1994) is a Scottish footballer who plays for Tranent Juniors. Handling has previously played for Hibernian and Dumbarton as well as Berwick Rangers and Raith Rovers on loan.
Handling grew up in Haddington, East Lothian, and attended Knox Academy . His brother, Darren, plays as an attacking midfield player for Dunbar United. [1]

Handling was loaned to Third Division club Berwick Rangers in March 2012. He scored two goals on his Berwick debut, a 2–1 win at Peterhead on 24 March. [5] He scored six goals in his first four games for the club, which gave Berwick a chance of qualifying for the end of season playoffs. [6]
Handling made 24 appearances for the Hibs first team in the 2014–15 season, scoring three goals. [7] He then missed all of the 2015–16 season due to suffering a knee injury in a pre-season game. [7] Handling was an unused substitute in a 2016–17 UEFA Europa League tie with Brondby, but then suffered another injury. [8] This prevented him from playing until late January, when he appeared in a development squad match. [9] On 31 March, Handling moved to Raith Rovers on an emergency loan deal. [10]
Having negotiated his release from Hibernian, Handling joined Scottish Championship side Dumbarton in July 2017. [11] He scored his first goal for the club (and first since December 2014) in the semi-final of the Scottish Challenge Cup against Welsh Champions The New Saints in February 2018.
