Iain Davidson (born 14 January 1984) is a retired Scottish professional footballer. Davidson mainly played as a defensive midfielder but can also be played in the defence. He has previously played for Brechin City, Scarborough, two spells at Raith Rovers, Dundee, two spells at Brechin City and Cowdenbeath.
In 2009, while he was captain at Raith Rovers, Davidson was charged and convicted of assault during an incident at Kitty's Bar and Club in Kirkcaldy. He was convicted of attacking a man with a bottle.[1]
In 2021 the SFA found Davidson guilty of racist and discriminatory behaviour towards an Inverness player. He received a four match ban and was ordered to complete a FIFA e-learning course before being allowed to play again.[2]
In 2022 Davidson pleaded guilty to behaving in a threatening/abusive manner, aggravated by the fact it involved abuse of his former partner. He was given a six-month suspended custodial sentence for good behaviour and a six-month non-harassment order against his former partner. He is due to appear in court again on 6 June 2023.[3]
