Brian McLaughlin (b. 14 May 1974, Bellshill, Scotland) is a footballer, currently playing for Stenhousemuir F.C. He rose to prominence playing for Celtic in the early 1990s.

[edit] Career

McLaughlin began his professional career with Glasgow Celtic. He impressed as a youngster and made his league debut in November 1993 under then manager Lou Macari. He stayed at Celtic for another six years, with the bulk of his appearances made under Macari's successor Tommy Burns. However, with the regular turnover of managers at the club (Burns left in 1997), securing a first team slot became increasingly difficult.

After a brief loan period with Airdrie, he left Celtic to join Dundee United F.C. on a free transfer. Since then he has played on both sides of the border with stints at Wigan Athletic, Ayr United, Queen of the South, St. Johnstone, and, currently, Stenhousemuir.
