Daniel Wilson

BIOGRAPHY

Danny Wilson was born December 21, 1997, in Livingston, Scotland. He is a defender in Major League Soccer. 

Wilson came through the youth team ranks at Rangers and captained the under-19 team. He was tipped early on to have a big future at Ibrox (being compared to Alan Hansen), even drawing interest from other clubs before he had made his professional debut. Wilson had been an unused substitute on several occasions during the latter part of the 2008–09 season, including the 2009 Scottish Cup Final against Falkirk. He made his professional debut for Rangers against Dundee in the League Cup, playing the full 90 minutes of a 3–1 win in October 2009. Just over a week later, he became the youngest Rangers player to play in the UEFA Champions League by starting a 1–1 draw against Unirea Urziceni, aged just 17 years, 312 days. After the match, Wilson described making his debut as "unbelievable". After leaving Hearts, Wilson signed a three-year contract with Rangers on June 22, 2015. Wilson made his second debut for Rangers against Hibernian in the first round of the Challenge Cup on July 25, 2015. Over the course of the subsequent season, he played in central defense alongside Rob Kiernan.

On 29 January 2018, Wilson signed a three-year contract with Major League Soccer side Colorado Rapids. He made his debut for the club on 27 February 2018 in their CONCACAF Champions League match against Toronto FC, starting in the 0–0 draw. Wilson scored his first goal for the Colorado Rapids on 11 May 2019 in a 3–2 home defeat against Real Salt Lake. He scored his second goal a month later on 28 June against Los Angeles FC, a lone 49th minute goal to give the Rapids a 1–0 home victory.
