Craig Robertson (footballer)

Craig Robertson (born 22 April 1963) is a Scottish former football player and coach who spent most of his career in Fife playing for Dunfermline Athletic and Raith Rovers, broken up by a spell with Aberdeen.

He joined Raith Rovers from Hearts in 1980, and stayed with the Kirkcaldy-based club until 1987, when he was signed by his home town team Dunfermline Athletic for £25,000.

[1][2] His first team opportunities at Pittodrie were limited, making only 34 appearances in three seasons and so in 1991 he was re-signed by Dunfermline.

[1] After the death of Norrie McCathie in January 1996, Robertson was given the task of taking over as club captain.

[3] The first match after McCathie's death was a home tie against Clydebank in which Robertson scored in the last minute to give the Pars a 4–3 victory.
