Notes: Alan kick off his career at Cowdenbeath before spending five years at Love Street with St Mirren. His breakthrough came with a move to Dundee United making over 80 first team appearances for the Tannadice outfit during the next five years. An unhappy spell at Bradford followed where he played nearly forty games but they were relegated. He has been included in Scotland squads but not had any caps as yet. Alan has a bit of a hot head reputation after a few run in's with referee's during his career but he seems to have mellowed with age and learned from his mistakes. A good shot stopper who is not scared to come out for a cross and commands his area well. UPDATE: Alan represented Killie in the Scotland "B" international at Rugby Park on Dec 6th 2005, where the Scots ran 2-0 winners, with Alan playing the 2nd 45 mins! CONTRACT UPDATE: At the close of 2005-06, Alan signed a new 2 year contract extension, to keep him at Killie until 2008!
