[edit] Career

Dundee-born Holt played his part in all of Dundee United's successes in the 1980s, breaking into the first team in 1974 along with the likes of David Narey and Andy Gray, and made regular appearances in midfield or defence for the club until 1987, when he left for Dunfermline. A playing spell at Dundee followed, before player/manager spells with Forfar Athletic, Deveronvale and Montrose. Holt returned to United and Tannadice in the mid 1990s and spent several years in many coaching roles, before leaving in 2003 when Ian McCall was appointed Dundee United manager. He went on to become a scout for Celtic, operating in the Dundee area.
