Stuart Callaghan

Stuart Callaghan (born 20 July 1976) is a Scottish former footballer who played for several Scottish league clubs, mostly in the lower divisions, after starting out in the top level as a youth player with Heart of Midlothian. He also played in Finland for Finnairin Palloilijat on loan, and in Northern Ireland for Linfield. However, he was not selected in the squad for the final in an era where only three substitutes were allowed.

Finding opportunities limited at Tynecastle Park, Callaghan had a season with Linfield and won the 1999–2000 League and League Cup with the Blues, where he won the country's lowest senior division in his first campaign (the only season endured at that level by the Accies in their history) and was involved in the first matches at the club's new stadium.

He later had spells with semi-professional clubs Alloa Athletic, Brechin City and Berwick Rangers, playing regularly for each and winning a rare promotion to the First Division with Brechin, before moving to down to the Junior grade in his mid-30s.

After retiring from playing, he took on a role as a youth football coach.
