Doug Coulston (born 12 August 1971) is a Scottish footballer who played as a midfielder for Livingston.

Playing career

[edit]

Coulston began his professional career playing at Meadowbank Thistle.[1] He remained at the club during their renaming and relocation in 1995. The midfielder departed the club in 1996 having made 5 appearances in total for Meadowbank Thistle and Livingston.

After leaving the Almondvale Stadium, he had spells at Cowdenbeath and Montrose.[2]

The midfielder signed for Angus rivals Brechin in 1999 and went on to make 54 appearances for the City, including a fourth round Scottish Cup defeat against Rangers at Ibrox Stadium.[3]

He signed for East Fife in 2001, but struggled to make an impact at the club. After 4 appearances that season, he departed the club to return to Brechin.[4][5]

Coulston's appearances for the City were limited in his second spell, and he left the club once again after just 6 appearances during the 2002–2003 season. He re-signed for Montrose in the summer of 2003 and made 6 appearances before retiring from playing a year later.

Post playing career

[edit]

After retiring from professional football, Coulston has been working as a PE teacher at St Columba's Roman Catholic High School.[6][7]
