Anderson was one of eight Aberdeen players who received a suspended three-match ban from the Scottish FA after they breached coronavirus-related restrictions due to visiting a bar in August 2020.[7] On 5 October 2020, Anderson signed for Ayr United, on a season-long loan.[8] However he was recalled by Aberdeen in January. He made 12 appearances scoring two goals against Albion Rovers in the League Cup.[9] On 1 February 2021, Anderson joined fellow Premiership side Hamilton Academical on loan until the end of the season.[10] He scored his first goal for Hamilton in a 4–1 win against Motherwell on 13 February 2021.[11]
