Michael Tidser (born 15 January 1990) is a Scottish football player, currently playing for Ross County on loan from League One team Rotherham United.

Tidser began his career with Celtic, before spending a short spell in Sweden with Östersunds FK. Tidser then returned to Scotland to spend three seasons at Greenock Morton, where he made well over 100 appearances.

Club career

Born in Glasgow, Tidser started his career with Celtic and was captain of the Under 19's before being released.[1] He then signed a short-term contract with Swedish side Östersunds FK.[2]

Morton

After his contract expired with Östersunds, he signed an 18-month deal with Greenock Morton.[3]

Tidser would make an impressive start for the club, which resulted winning Young Player of the Month for March 2010[4] and has been watched by Rangers coach Kenny McDowall.[5]

In 2010/11 season, Tidser scored his first goal for the club, in a 2–0 win over Partick Thistle.[6] His impressive performance continued with Scottish Premier League's Kilmarnock and League One side Huddersfield Town, but no avail.[7] Then, on 12 February 2011, Tidser then sent off after a second bookable offence, in a 1–0 loss against Falkirk.[8] After the match, Manager Allan Moore says he's disappointed with Tidser's action.[9] In April 2011, Tidser signed a new three-year deal with Morton.[10]

In 2011/12 season, Tidser start his season, scoring his first goal of the season, before providing assist for Peter MacDonald to score a winning goal, in a 2–1 win over Livingston on 13 August 2011. A week later, on 23 August 2011, he scored again and setting up a goal for MacDonald, in the second round of the Scottish League Cup, in a 4–3 loss against St. Mirren. However, his early season was overshadowed with knee problem injury.[11][12] Following an operation, it announced that he will be out for two-month, which he expected to comeback in December.[13] Soon in mid-November, Tidser soon went on the club's training session.[14] Upon recovering from injury, Tidsar told the Greenock Telegraph,describing his sidelined from injury as "torture" and hard to make a return.[15] In January 2012, after Stuart McCaffrey was ruled out for the season, Tidser was made Morton's team captain just after his 22nd birthday.[16] On 20 March 2012, he scored his second goal of the season, in a 2–0 win over Falkirk.

In 2012–13 season, Tidser start a good season with the club, having made a good display to compete with Partick Thistle to get promoted to Scottish Premier League, which Morton finished second. On 6 October 2012, Tidsar provided a double assist for Kevin Rutkiewicz and Mark McLaughlin, in a 3–1 win over Partick. It wasn't until 29 December 2012 when Tidser scored twice, in a 4–2 win over Dunfermline Athletic. That was followed up on 26 January 2013 when he scored in a 1–0 win over Raith Rovers. His next goal came on 23 February 2013 when he, again, score against Dunfermline Athletic, with the same result on 29 December 2012. On 16 March 2013, Tidsar scored his final goal of the season, in a 3–0 win over Dumbarton. During the season, he also made a good display by making assists. He also scored five times in the Scottish Cup, including two brace against Albion Rovers and Turriff United, which was scored in the Scottish Cup replay. However, Tidser suffered an groin injury, that ruled him out for the rest of the season.[17]

After a great season, Tidser was nominated for the 2012–13 First Division Player of the Year.[18] It went better for Tidser when he won the supporters' club awards.[19] In June 2013, Tidser was the subject of a £50k bid from Rotherham United, which was rejected by Morton chairman Douglas Rae at first.[20] Soon, the bid was made again, but this time, it was accepted five days later.[21]

Rotherham United

Tidser officially signed for Rotherham United on 3 July 2013.[22] A week later, on 9 July 2013, Tidser played against his former club, Morton and when he was substituted, Tidser was given a standing ovation from Morton's fans.[23]

After yet featured on the bench in the first two matches of the opening game of the 2013-14 season, Tidsar finally made his debut after coming on as a late substitute, in a 2-1 win over Crawley Town. However, his start at Rotherham United wasn't planned for him, as he "mostly have been off the bench".[24]
