Stuart Golabek (born 5 November 1974 in Inverness) is a professional footballer playing for Scottish Football League club Livingston on loan from Inverness CT.

Golabek began his career with Highland League side Clachnacuddin, before moving to Ross County, where he played for nearly four years before joining Inverness in June 1999. He quickly made a name for himself as a strong, hard-tackling defender and soon became an important member of the first team. In his first season with Inverness, Golabek was a member of the team that famously beat Celtic in the Scottish Cup on 8 February 2000. In the seasons that followed, Golabek continued to work hard in the Inverness defence, and when Bobby Mann left the club in the summer of 2004 Golabek was made team captain.

The highlights of Stuart Golabek's career include two wins against Celtic in the Scottish Cup, winning the Bell's Cup in 2003 and winning the Scottish First Division in 2004, all with Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

By January 2007, he made only two league appearances in season 2006-07 and was going to be transferred to Peterhead on loan until the end of the season. However this fell through and he went to Livingston on loan instead.^[1]
