Lauren Alison Davidson (born 1 October 2001) is a Scottish footballer who plays as a forward or winger for Brann in the Norwegian League named Toppserien and the Scotland national team.
Raised in Bishopbriggs, Davidson played with boys at local Rossvale [3] and for the girls' youth teams of Celtic, Rangers and Glasgow City. After a stint with Hibernian, where she won the Scottish Women's Cup in 2018 and the SWPL Cup in 2019, she joined the senior squad of reigning league champions Glasgow City in August 2020, [4] at which time she was also employed as a home delivery driver for a supermarket. [5]
Following the cancellation of an entire season due to COVID-19 and a switch from a summer to a winter schedule, Davidson and City finished on the losing side to Celtic in both domestic cup finals in 2021–22, while their long run of league titles was ended by Rangers (both rivals greatly increased their budgets for their women's teams and saw improved results on the field). Glasgow City recovered the following year to win the 2022–23 Scottish Women's Premier League on a dramatic last matchday, with Davidson scoring in stoppage time at Ibrox for a 1–0 win for her team which lifted them above Celtic by a point (other results could also have allowed Rangers to retain the championship). [6]
Davidson left Glasgow City and signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with Norwegian club Brann in July 2024. [7] [5]
Davidson represented Scotland at the under-16, under-17 and under-19 levels. [2] She was added to the full national team in September 2021 and made her international debut that month in a 2–0 win against Hungary, [2] appearing as a late substitute for Claire Emslie. [8]

The Old Firm is a collective name for the Scottish football clubs Celtic and Rangers, which are both based in Glasgow. The two clubs are the most successful and popular in Scotland, and the rivalry between them has become deeply embedded in Scottish culture. It has reflected and contributed to political, social and religious division and sectarianism in Scotland. As a result, matches between them have had an enduring appeal around the world.
The Glasgow Cup is a football tournament open to teams from Glasgow, Scotland. Operated by the Glasgow Football Association, it was competed for annually by senior Glasgow clubs from 1887 until 1989.

Scotland was one of the earliest modern footballing nations, with Glasgow club Queen's Park early pioneers of the game throughout the UK. More clubs formed in Scotland, resulting in the commencement of the first major competition in 1873, the Scottish Cup, then the founding of the Scottish Football League in 1890. With the official sanctioning of professionalism, the Old Firm of Celtic and Rangers became dominant in Scotland, and remain so, although other clubs have enjoyed brief periods of success too.
