Gary Holt (footballer)

Gary James Holt (born 9 March 1973) is a Scottish football player and coach, who was most recently the sporting director at Falkirk.

During his time with Kilmarnock and Norwich he also received ten caps for the Scotland national football team, scoring one goal.

Holt left Norwich to join Nottingham Forest in 2005, where he spent two years before being released at the end of the 2006–07 season.

On 28 March 2009, he lobbed Luke Daniels in the League Two match against Shrewsbury Town to score the third goal of his Wycombe Wanderers career.

For the 2009–10 season he left Wycombe to join former manager Paul Lambert at Colchester United as a player coach.

However, when Lambert left for Norwich City after only three game of the season, his contract was terminated without him making a single appearance for the club.

Despite his excellent form with Kilmarnock, international recognition with Scotland initially proved elusive for Holt, who briefly explored the option of playing for Canada in 1998 and for Northern Ireland in 1999;[10] however, it emerged that he was not eligible for either.

[14] Holt left Falkirk in June 2014 to take a first-team coaching position at Norwich City,[15] where he stayed for two years.

[16] In August 2018, he was appointed head coach of Scottish Premiership club Livingston,[17] replacing former Scotland teammate Kenny Miller in the role.
