That unrated player only has 4 games in the CS system at the moment (IE the Edin results), it needs a minimum of 5 to calculate an estimate. He has played a few games in Scotland since season 2010-11 but not enough to get a published CS grade. You need to accumulate a min of 8 in two consecutive seasons.
He wont count for FIDE rating.

Do games against ungraded players count?
Games against ungraded players will count if the computer has enough information to be able to calculate a reliable estimate for the ungraded player. The minimum number of games for the ungraded player is five - below that we dont make an estimate.
These estimates for ungraded opponents will appear in your online record. An ungraded player will have a 0 in the published grade column and some figure in used grade.
As the ungraded player accumulates more games throughout the season the estimate is continually revised. The opponent of the ungraded player will get credit for the latest estimate so that means that game will continually change in value throughout the whole season. This also means that a game may not initially count when the game was played but may count later in the season when an estimate can be calculated.
