Andrew Robert Kirk (born 29 May 1979) is a Northern Irish professional football coach and former player who is currently the caretaker manager of Scottish Premiership club St Johnstone.
Kirk enjoyed a successful time with the Glens and under manager Roy Coyle winning the Gold Cup, County Antrim Shield and Irish Premiership title.
Initially viewed as an investment for the future, Kirk played in the club's U-21 side for most of his first two seasons at Tynecastle Stadium.
[4] Despite Kirk scoring on his debut, Northampton lost to Rushden & Diamonds and a stuttering finish to the season witnessed them fall in the play-off semi-finals.
However, Kirk was taken off the transfer list at the beginning of the 2007–08 season and rewarded manager Stuart Gray with 3 goals in the first 3 games.
In summer 2008 Yeovil rejected a bid from Morecambe for Kirk,[6] though they went on to sell him to Scottish First Division team Dunfermline Athletic.
[7] He made his debut coming on as a sub against First Division rivals Partick Thistle[8] and scored his first two goals a week later against Queen of the South in a 2–1 win.
[20] Kirk left Brechin in November 2023 to become assistant manager of Premiership club St Johnstone, working alongside Craig Levein.
