Brian Kerr (born 12 October 1981) is a Scottish football coach and former player.
During his career, Kerr played as a midfielder for Newcastle United, Coventry City, Livingston, Motherwell, Hibernian, Inverness CT, Dundee and Arbroath. He represented Scotland at senior international level, earning three caps.
Since retiring as a player, Kerr has managed Albion Rovers and East Kilbride.
Kerr started his career with Newcastle United, but failed to hold down a regular first team place. Despite this, he won three caps for Scotland under the management of Berti Vogts. [1] When Kerr was released by Newcastle in 2004, he signed for his home town club Motherwell. [2] His career then suffered a major setback when he damaged an anterior cruciate ligament in a pre-season friendly, causing him to be out of football for almost nine months. [3] He finally made his debut for the club against Aberdeen on 9 April 2005. [4] After recovering from his injury, Kerr re-established his place in Motherwell's first-team squad, and he scored his first goal for the club with a spectacular strike in a 4–4 draw with Celtic in July 2005. [5]
In 2007, Kerr left Motherwell and signed a two-year contract with Hibernian. [6] Kerr scored (what proved to be the winner in a 1–0 victory) on his debut for Hibernian against Edinburgh derby rivals Hearts on 6 August 2007. [7] He played regularly under John Collins, but found it harder to hold down a first team place under Mixu Paatelainen and was released on 1 September 2008. [8]
It was reported by BBC Sport in September 2008 that Kerr was in signing talks with Major League Soccer club Toronto FC. [9] Kerr failed to agree terms with Toronto and then had unsuccessful trial periods with Brighton & Hove Albion and Oldham Athletic. [10] Kerr told the Daily Record during January 2009 that he may have to end his playing career due to his failure to find a new club since leaving Hibs. [11] Soon afterwards, however, new Inverness CT manager Terry Butcher invited Kerr on trial and he was signed on 2 February. [12] He made his debut for Inverness against former side Hibernian in a 2–0 win and scored his first goal against Hamilton. Inverness were relegated on the last day of the season and Kerr was subsequently released by the club.
On 29 June 2009, Kerr signed a contract with Dundee. [13] He scored his first and what turned out to be only goal for Dundee against former club Inverness Caledonian Thistle on 6 March 2010. [14] On 15 October 2010, Kerr had his contract terminated by Dundee due to the club entering administration. [15] Kerr signed for Arbroath in July 2011. [16] At Arbroath he scored once in a 4–2 win over Ayr United. [17] He left the club in 2013. [18]
In June 2016, Kerr was appointed to a coaching position by Albion Rovers. [19] After Darren Young left the club in May 2017, Kerr was appointed first-team manager on 8 May 2017. [20] He had a difficult first season, with Rovers being relegated to Scottish League Two in April 2018, and Kerr decided to leave the club soon afterwards. [21]
On 18 May 2018, Kerr was appointed manager of Lowland League club East Kilbride. [22] Kerr resigned his position as manager on 15 October 2018, to become assistant manager of Partick Thistle under Gary Caldwell. [23] Caldwell and Kerr were sacked by Thistle in September 2019. [24]
In November 2019, Kerr returned to Motherwell as the club's Under-18's coach. He became their assistant manager in 2022, but was sacked along with manager Steven Hammell on 11 February 2023 following a Scottish Cup defeat by Raith Rovers. [25]

Stuart Ross Malcolm is a Scottish football coach and former player who is currently the coach of East Fife.
Season 2007–08 for Hibernian could be split into three distinct parts: a great unbeaten start to the Scottish Premier League season that temporarily took the club to the top of the league; a terrible middle phase which saw a long winless run and the resignation of John Collins as Hibs manager; and, finally, a modest recovery under the management of Mixu Paatelainen, who was appointed in January 2008. This took Hibs into the top half of the SPL, but short of third place and the UEFA Cup spot, which was won by Motherwell.
Brian Graham is a Scottish football striker and coach, who plays for Scottish Championship club Partick Thistle, and is also the manager of Partick Thistle W.F.C. in the Scottish Women's Premier League.
Season 2008–09 for Hibernian was their tenth consecutive season of play in the Scottish Premier League. The SPL season began on 9 August 2008 with a 1–0 defeat at Kilmarnock. The team were eliminated from each cup competition at the first hurdle, due to defeats by IF Elfsborg in the last Intertoto Cup, Greenock Morton in the Scottish League Cup and Edinburgh derby rivals Hearts in the Scottish Cup. The team was inconsistent in the league, and only squeezed into the top six by a single point ahead of Motherwell. This led to the resignation of manager Mixu Paatelainen at the end of the season. One bright spot for the club was the performance of the under-19 team, which won the Scottish league & cup double.
The 2009–10 Scottish League Cup was the 64th season of the Scotland's second most prestigious football knockout competition, also known for sponsorship reasons as the Co-operative Insurance Cup. Rangers won the cup beating St Mirren 1–0 thanks to a goal from Kenny Miller.
Callum Booth is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Scottish League Two side The Spartans on loan from Scottish Premiership club St Johnstone.
The 2011–12 Scottish Cup was the 127th season of Scotland's most prestigious football knockout competition. The tournament began on 24 September 2011 and ended on 19 May 2012. It was sponsored by William Hill in the first season of a three-year partnership, known as the William Hill Scottish Cup. The winner of the competition qualified for the play-off round of the 2012–13 UEFA Europa League. Heart of Midlothian won 5–1 against city rivals Hibernian at Hampden Park.
Sean Welsh is a Scottish footballer, who plays as a midfielder for Scottish Championship club Queen's Park. He has previously played for Hibernian, Stenhousemuir, Stirling Albion, Partick Thistle, Falkirk and Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
The 2013–14 season was Motherwell's twenty ninth consecutive season in the top flight of Scottish football and the first in the newly established Scottish Premiership, having been promoted from the Scottish First Division at the end of the 1984–85 season. They finished the season in second place, behind Celtic, earning entry to the Europa League again, having been knocked out of the 2013–14 seasons at the Third Qualifying Round stage by FC Kuban Krasnodar. They also competed in the League Cup, reaching the Quarter-Final, and the Scottish Cup where they reached the Fourth Round.
The 2013–14 season was Hibernian's fifteenth consecutive season in the top flight of the Scottish football league system, having been promoted from the Scottish First Division at the end of the 1998–99 season. Having lost the 2013 Scottish Cup Final to league champions Celtic, Hibs entered the 2013–14 UEFA Europa League, but suffered a Scottish record aggregate defeat against Swedish club Malmö in the second qualifying round. Hibs also competed in the 2013–14 Scottish League Cup but lost to Heart of Midlothian in the quarter-final at Easter Road. Days after that defeat, manager Pat Fenlon resigned and was replaced with Terry Butcher. Hibs were knocked out of the 2013–14 Scottish Cup in the fifth round by Raith Rovers. A long winless run to finish the 2013–14 Scottish Premiership season meant that Hibs finished in 11th place, and they were relegated after a playoff against Hamilton Academical.
The 2014–15 Scottish Cup was the 130th season of Scotland's most prestigious football knockout competition. The tournament was sponsored by bookmaker William Hill in what was the fourth season of a five-year partnership.

Hibs finished seventh in the league, which was curtailed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They lost to Celtic in the semi-finals of the League Cup and Hearts in the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup.
The 2021–22 Scottish Premiership was the ninth season of the Scottish Premiership, the highest division of Scottish football, and the 125th edition overall of the top national league competition, not including one cancelled due to World War II.
