Dixon was soon to establish himself as an influential player for the club. He scored his first goal for the club on 8 March 1919 in a 3-0 league win against Hamilton Academical.
He enjoyed a benefit match at Ibrox on 10 September 1923. A crowd of 10,000 watched Rangers draw 1-1 with Liverpool. The Rangers side was: Hamilton (goalkeeper), Manderson, Meiklejohn, Dixon, McCandless, Archibald, Muirhead, Morton, Hansen, Cairns. The goalscorer for Rangers was Carl Hansen.
In total he made 361 appearances (326 league and 35 Scottish Cup) for the club. He scored eight goals (six times in the league and twice in the cup). He won 6 league championships, six Glasgow Cups and four Charity Cups.
At the end of the 1925-26 season, Dixon retired from playing and became a coach at the club. He was responsible for the signing of Alex Stevenson, an Irish international footballer from Dublin.
