Season 2005/06 : Alan was an S-form signing with Rangers but decided to move to England and spent five seasons with Blackburn Rovers, three years in the football academy and then working with the first team. Spent some time on-loan to Darlington and then Cheltenham Town. Decided to come back to Scotland and signed a two-year contract with ICT. He was playing extremely well with the Reserve side which saw him get promotion to the first team and from the beginning of February until the end of the season he became a regular in the first team line-up. Scorer of three goals - against Livingston, Dundee United and Dunfermline Athletic.
All-in-all an excellent season for a bright young star of the future.
