Brian Martin (born 24 February 1963 in Bellshill) is a Scottish former footballer who played as a central defender, best known for his seven-year spell at Motherwell.
By then he had already moved on to St Mirren, where he stayed for three seasons in the Scottish Premier Division before being signed by fellow top-level club Motherwell in November 1991 for £175,000.
[4] Martin left Motherwell in 1998 and had spells with Stirling Albion and Partick Thistle before retiring from the professional leagues in 2000, aged 37.
He returned to local Junior football, appearing for Lanark United, Stonehouse Violet, Shotts - two decades after his first spell there,[1] and Cambuslang Rangers, also playing the occasional game for the 'Motherwell Legends' team.
While playing for Motherwell, Martin earned two caps for the Scotland national team (making his debut aged 32) in the 1995 Kirin Cup matches against Ecuador and Japan alongside clubmates Rab McKinnon and Paul Lambert.
