In the first game of the 2021–22 season, Dixon scored his first goal of the season, in a 5–1 win against Albion Rovers in the Scottish League Cup group stage match.[186] It wasn’t until on 7 August 2021 when he scored his second goal of the season, in a 2–1 win against Peterhead.[187] A week later on 14 August 2021, Dixon scored his third goal of the season, in a 3–0 win against Clyde.[187][188] Since the start of the 2021–22 season, Dixon continued to remain in the first team, playing in the centre–back position.[189]

However, he suffered a wrist injury that saw him out for two months.[190] It wasn’t until on 5 February 2022 when Dixon made his return to the starting line–up as captain against Queen of the South and set up the equalising goal, in a 1–1 draw.[191] However, he soon lost his first team place and was demoted to the substitute bench.[192] By April, Dixon regained his first team for the remaining matches of the 2021–22 season.[193] At the end of the 2021–22 season, he went on to make twenty–five appearances and scoring three times in all competitions. Following this, Dixon was released Falkirk.[194]

Peterhead

edit

On 11 June 2022, Dixon joined Scottish League One side Peterhead, signing a one–year contract.[195]

He made his debut for the club, starting the whole game as captain, in a 2–0 loss against Aberdeen in the group stage of the Scottish League Cup match.[196] Six days later against Dumbarton in the group stage of the Scottish League Cup match, Dixon received a straight red card at half–time, in a 2–0 loss.[197] He became a first team regular for Peterhead in the first three months to the season.[198] However, Dixon suffered a seriously knee injury that affected most of his 2022–23 season.[199] On 29 March 2023, he announced his retirement from professional football after failing to recover from a serious knee injury.[200]

Post Playing career

edit

Towards the end of his playing career, Dixon began studying for his UEFA A Licence.[201][188] He stated his intention to move to coaching once his playing career is over.[188] After leaving Falkirk, Dixon worked for the academy coach at Hearts and Dundee United before he joined Peterhead.[202]

Shortly after retiring from professional football, Dixon was appointed as a dual role as individual coach analyst and under-16s coach for Dundee United.[203]

International career

edit

In August 2007, Dixon was called up to the Scotland under-21 for the first time and made his debut for the under-21 side, playing 82 minutes in a friendly match, in a 1–0 win against the Czech Republic under-21 team.[204] He then made another (and last) appearance for Scotland U21, in a 4–0 loss against Netherlands under-21 team on 16 October 2007.[205] In May 2009, Dixon missed out on a Scotland B call-up due to a clash with United's league fixture.[41]

Dixon was selected in the full Scotland squad for a friendly against the Czech Republic on 3 March 2010, along with Dundee United teammates Andy Webster and Garry Kenneth, but did not play.[206] Two years later, he had to wait until September 2012 to receive another call–up from the national squad.[207] Dixon made his full Scotland debut on 8 September 2012, in a goalless draw with Serbia in Scotland's opening World Cup qualifier of Group A at Hampden Park, playing the full 90 minutes and earning man of the match for his solid performance in defence.[208] He made his second appearance for the national side, making another start, in a 1–1 draw against Macedonia on 11 September 2012.[209] Dixon’s third appearance for Scotland came on 14 November 2012 against Luxembourg, where he set up a goal for Jordan Rhodes, who scored twice, in a 2–1 win, in what turns out to be his last appearance.[210] Following this, however, Dixon was not called up to the Scotland’s squad by manager Gordon Strachan despite his good performances at Huddersfield Town.[101][211] He knew that his failure to make the cut into Strachan’s Scotland squad made him realised about not playing for Scotland again.[201]

Personal life

edit

Born in Aberdeen, Dixon moved to Dundee when he was one–years old.[3] His mother was from Aberdeen, while his father was from West Country.[3] Growing up, Dixon was a boyhood Dundee United supporter, whom he later joined in 2008.[2] Due to his father being a Bristol Rovers supporter, they attended Football League Second Division play-off final against Huddersfield Town, which they loss.[3] Outside of football, Dixon said he’s an enthusiastic paddler.[212]

He’s married to his wife, Stefany, and together they have two children.[3][55][89][125][180][213] The birth of their second child was a factor for Dixon returning to Scotland in 2015.[125][214]

Following his end of his professional football career, Dixon sought to mental health charity Back Onside, to undergo therapy with his mental health.[215]
