Oh, what joy! Today's subject is the mediocre (at best) Coll Donaldson, a footballer born in Scotland on the 9th of April in the year of our Lord 1995. That makes him a tender 30 years old. Isn't that something?
So, let's lay out these unimpressive facts. Mr. Donaldson prefers to function as a central defender (when he can muster the effort), presently plying his trade for Falkirk. His towering and very appropriate height of 1.88m (6ft 2in) presumably helps him clear those pesky balls, while his weight of 82kg (12st 12lb) grants him a solid presence on the field. He carries the number 6 on his back, for those who fancy collecting trivia.
As far as the market is concerned, Donaldson's value is about as impressive as a kilt in a windstorm - around £85k, according to Transfermarkt.
In July 2012, our subject ended up at Livingston in the Premiership, in what can only be described as an amusing attempt at a football career. He managed to make a staggering five first team appearances in his debut season, before upping the ante to 19 appearances (and even scoring one goal) in the following season.
Somehow, Donaldson convinced the folks at Queens Park Rangers in England to pay £150k for him in 2014. A truly remarkable feat, considering he made a blink-and-you'll-miss-it contribution of one first team appearance during his time there.
He returned to the Scottish Premiership in 2015 with Dundee United, where he treated the football world to 18 and 14 first team appearances in the subsequent seasons. Truly inspiring.
Inverness CT in the League One had the good fortune of procuring Donaldson's services come 2017, no doubt thrilled with his whopping 16 first team appearances. It was Ross County, however, who ushered him in for an undisclosed fee in 2020.
He spent a quick, and likely forgettable, loan with Dunfermline Athletic in early 2022 before returning to Ross County where he made a staggeringly average contribution. However, he somehow ended up at Falkirk in the Premiership later that year.
Donaldson currently graces Falkirk in the 2025-2026 season with his presence, amassing two appearances so far. His past seasons at Falkirk saw him earn a modest total of 44 appearances and one goal. Let's see what the rest of the season holds for Falkirk's number 6, eh?
