Career
Craig began his career at the end of the 1980s with Partick Thistle, making a dozen league appearances for The Jags before joining East Stirlingshire in 1991. Spending three years with The Shire, Craig won a move to Scottish Premier Division side Dundee United in 1994, making his league debut in November as a substitute. Craig's next league appearance came in February, and although he started a further three league matches, Craig appeared in only one matchday squad following the side's relegation, joining Hamilton Academical in September 1995.
After a year with Hamilton, Craig joined Kirkcaldy side Raith Rovers, returning to Hamilton after one season. Again, Craig spent a year with Accies before beginning a six-year stint with Ayr United, where his time included finishing as Scottish First Division runners-up and League Cup runners-up in the early 2000s. In 2004, Craig moved to Queen of the South in the era of captain Jim Thomson. Craig spent a year in Dumfries, scoring once against Partick,[1] before a short spell with Brechin City.
Returning to Partick in 2005, Craig was part of the side that won the First Division play-offs in 2005–06, winning promotion. He scored once in their promotion campaign against Stirling Albion.[2] Instead of joining Thistle in the First Division, Craig moved to Dumbarton, spending two years with The Sons. After short spells with junior club Arthurlie and Montrose, and a trial with Stranraer, he joined Elgin City in 2009. Craig now plays for Maryhill juniors.
