Callum Reidford
Scottish footballer
Callum Reidford (born 26 May 1987, in Glasgow) is a Scottish professional football goalkeeper who last played for Stirling Albion.
Career
Rediford began his career at Scottish Premier League side Rangers. He joined Scottish First Division side Dundee on loan for the 2006–07 season and went on to make four appearances for the Dens Park club.
Reidford left Ibrox in the May 2008 without making a top team appearance. He soon began to attract the attention of Scottish First Division side Dunfermline Athletic and was linked with a move to East End Park in June 2008. It was reported on the 27th that Dunfermline were about to enter talks with the unattached keeper and that the possibility of a move to Fife was becoming increasingly likely as he joined the Pars on their summer tour of Austria. He signed for Dunfermline in mid-July on a one-year deal, after impressing during his trial. He spent a year with the Pars, but didn't make a first team appearance for them, and signed for Clyde in July 2009.
After the 2009/10 season he chose not to renew his contract with Clyde and was signed by Stirling Albion following a successful trial. Reidford started the season as second choice although seized upon illness to claim the number 1 jersey and has since performed solidly.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Callum Reidford”, the useful work is to connect “scottish footballer” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 12, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q5022985. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1987, 2006, 2008 and 2009.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
