Career

Playing career

Mitchell signed for East Fife from Ballingry Rovers in 1988, and in three seasons made 87 league appearances, scoring 23 goals. [3] Mitchell moved from East Fife to Kilmarnock in July 1991 for a fee of £100,000. [1] In 12 years at Kilmarnock, Mitchell made 363 league appearances, scoring 45 goals. [4] He is perhaps best remembered for scoring a match-winning goal for Kilmarnock against Rangers at Ibrox Stadium that effectively handed the 1997–98 league championship to Celtic, and thereby stopped Rangers' attempt to win ten league titles in succession. [5]

After leaving Kilmarnock in January 2003, [6] Mitchell enjoyed a 12-game spell with St Mirren, [7] before signing for Brechin City in June 2003. [2] In three seasons with Brechin, Mitchell made 74 league appearances, scoring 2 goals. [8] In July 2006 Mitchell re-signed for East Fife, and made 3 league appearances in his one season there. [3]

Management career

Mitchell later became player-manager for Lochore Welfare. [6]
