Charlie Gilmour, born on 11 February 1999 (age 27), is a Scottish central defensive midfielder with Dunfermline Athletic. He wears No 8 and is valued at around £128,000 by Transfermarkt.
His career has been that of a working midfielder rather than a headline act, but there is substance in it. Away from Dunfermline, he has been part of squads that won the Scottish Cup and the League Cup, useful medals in a career that has otherwise been built on staying in teams and doing the less decorative work in the middle of the pitch.
At Dunfermline, Gilmour has found regular football. His strongest league return came in 2025-26, when he scored two goals in 31 appearances. In 2026-27 he remains a first-team presence, with 10 Championship appearances, four in the League Cup, five in the Scottish Cup and four in the Premiership play-offs, where he has scored once.
Gilmour’s profile is straightforward: a Scottish midfielder in his late twenties, established at Dunfermline and still involved regularly in the current side. His career has not been spectacular, but it has been steady enough.
