Andrew "Andy" Halliday (born 11 October 1991) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Scottish Championship club Rangers. He has previously played for Livingston, Middlesbrough, Walsall, Blackpool and Bradford City.

In January, 2015, he scored Bradford City's third goal against Chelsea in the fourth round of the FA Cup, as his club went on to win 4–2. The result has been widely regarded as one of the greatest shocks[2][3] in the history of the competition.

Career

Livingston

After promising developments at Ross County, Halliday was scouted by Rangers before being released in 2006.[4] He then moved to Livingston, playing for the under-19s before making his first team debut.[4] He made his debut on 26 April 2008, as a substitute in a 5–2 defeat against St. Johnstone.[5] Halliday's performances throughout the 2009–10 season attracted interest from several Scottish and English teams, this came after he bagged 15 goals in just 44 appearances.[citation needed] At the Livingston player of the year awards for the 2009–10 season, Halliday won young player of the year, as well as being nominated twice for goal of the season.[citation needed]

Middlesbrough

Halliday joined English Championship side Middlesbrough for the start of the 2010–11 season, after agreeing to join Gordon Strachan's team.[4] He scored his first goal for Middlesbrough in a 3–3 draw with Ipswich Town on 12 April 2011.[6] His second goal came in the FA Cup against Hastings United.[7]

Loan moves

On 25 November 2011, Halliday joined Walsall on loan until January 2012.[8] He returned to Middlesbrough at the end of the loan with Walsall having opted not to extend the move.[9] On 24 January 2014, Halliday signed for Blackpool on loan for the remainder of the 2013–14 season.[10]

Bradford City

Halliday signed on loan for Bradford City in October 2014.[11] The move became permanent in January 2015.[12] He scored the third goal in Bradford City's memorable 4–2 victory over Chelsea in the 2014–15 FA Cup fourth round.[2] Halliday scored three goals in 32 games for Bradford during the 2014–15 season, but he was released at the end of the season.[13]

Rangers

On 18 July 2015, Halliday signed a two-year deal to join his boyhood heroes Rangers with the option of a third-year.[14][15] On 25 July 2015, he scored on his debut in a 6–2 win over Hibernian in the Scottish Challenge Cup.[16] Halliday scored his first league goal for Rangers in a 5–1 win over Queen of the South at Palmerston Park on 30 August. Halliday scored his first goal at home in a 4–0 win over Dumbarton at Ibrox on 1 December 2015. On 28 December 2015 Halliday received a straight red card in a 4-2 win over Hibernian by referee Bobby Madden for violent conduct after clashing with Hibs' midfielder Fraser Fyvie. After the game, the SFA looked at the tackle and deemed Fraser Fyvie in the wrong and gave him a 2 match ban for simulation and feigning an injury.[17] Rangers later revealed that they would appeal against the ban for Andy Halliday.[18]
