John Hughes (born September 9, 1964 in Edinburgh, Scotland) is a former Scottish professional footballer and is currently manager of Falkirk.

Hughes is the son of a former Leith Dockworker. During his playing career he played for several clubs including Berwick Rangers and Swansea City,making his name at Falkirk before joining Celtic. Other clubs include Hibernian and Ayr United.

He landed his first managerial job on January 31, 2003 when he was appointed co-manager of Falkirk along with then team-mate Owen Coyle. He guided them to promotion to the Scottish Premier League in 2005.

He shares his name with former Celtic, Crystal Palace and Sunderland player John 'Yogi' Hughes, and as a result is often referred to as 'Yogi' himself.

He famously performed a streak during his first stint at Falkirk whilst team-mate Mo Johnston was being interviewed for BBC Scotland's Sportscene.
