Andy Halliday, a native of good old Scotland born on an autumn day of 18th October 1991, is presently a 33-year-old footballing soul, devoting his energy and skills in the heart of the pitch for Motherwell. Not the most towering of presences, but his 5ft 8in (1.73m) frame and a weight of around 10st 7lb (67kg) gives him a certain grit and agility to hold his own in central midfield. Scotland's mother should be proud of this lad, donning the number 11 jersey and worth a humble £180k according to our good friends at Transfermarkt.
No story is complete without a humble beginning! Ours starts in July 2007 when a naive Halliday joined Livingston. His career with clubs would read like a well-travelled hiker's diary. Middlesbrough, Walsall, Blackpool, Bradford City – all welcomed him in various seasons between July 2007 and the middle of 2015. He racked up a decent number of first team appearances and goals along the way, nothing to scoff at.
In July 2015, Rangers thought to themselves 'Why not?', and brought Halliday back to his native Scotland. A curious season in Azerbaijan with Qəbələ in between did little to interrupt his run with Rangers until he was picked up by Hearts in September 2020. Calendars kept changing, seasons came and went, and references with our sources point to a fairly active time across all of his Scottish stints.
January 2024 saw Halliday join Motherwell, first on loan, and later making it official that July. Reports of his current season performances speak of a diligent player, with notable starts for Motherwell and three goals making into the scorecards. If you fancy a walk down memory lane, you'll spot a sparkling performance in the League Cup 2024-2025, Halliday scoring a goal nonetheless, and a commendable performance in the Scottish Cup 2024-2025. The journey, as they say, is as important as the destination, and though it might not be the most glamorous one for Halliday, it surely has its moments.
