Bruce Anderson

Bruce Anderson was born in Banff, Scotland on 23 September 1998 (age 27).

Bruce Anderson (born 23 September 1998, age 27) is a Scottish striker best associated with Livingston, where he produced the clearest scoring spell of his senior career.

His standout league season came in 2021-22, when he scored 11 goals in 28 appearances for Livingston. That was a useful return in a side where forwards are rarely handed an easy living, and it remains the obvious reference point in assessing his career.

Anderson’s career has been that of an established Scottish Premiership forward rather than a headline act. He has shown he can score at the level, with his Livingston spell giving him his most substantial platform.
