Michael Tidser (born 15 January 1990) is a Scottish footballer, currently playing for Greenock Morton.
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. Tidser then moved to English club Rotherham United. After spells on loan with Ross County and Oldham Athletic, Tidser returned to Morton in 2015.
He is a former Scotland U19 international and features in the 2012–13 First Division team of the year as Morton finished second in the league.
Born in Glasgow, Tidser started his career with Celtic and was captain of the Under 19's before being released. He then signed a short-term contract with Swedish side Östersunds FK.
After his contract expired with Östersunds, he signed an 18-month deal with Greenock Morton.
Tidser would make an impressive start for the club, which resulted winning Young Player of the Month for March 2010 and has been watched by Rangers coach Kenny McDowall.
In 2010/11 season, Tidser scored his first goal for the club, in a 2–0 win over Partick Thistle. His impressive performance continued with Scottish Premier League's Kilmarnock and League One side Huddersfield Town, but no avail. Then, on 12 February 2011, Tidser then sent off after a second bookable offence, in a 1–0 loss against Falkirk. After the match, Manager Allan Moore said he was disappointed with Tidser's action. In April 2011, Tidser signed a new three-year deal with Morton.
