Gordon Dalziel (born 16 March 1962 in Motherwell, North Lanarkshire)^[1] is a Scottish former footballer, ex-manager of Ayr United, Raith Rovers and Glenafton Athletic.

Career

During his playing career he played as a striker for Rangers, Manchester City, Partick Thistle, East Stirlingshire, Raith Rovers and Ayr United.^[1] His greatest success was achieved at Raith Rovers as he became the club's top goal scorer of all time, winning the Scottish League Cup in 1994–95 as well as two First Division titles.^[2]^[3]

His first managerial job was at Ayr United where he guided them to the 2001–02 League Cup final and the Scottish Cup semi-final in the same year. He was later sacked, however, having failed to get the club to the Scottish Premier League.

He next took over as manager at Junior team Glenafton, who he left to take over at Raith Rovers in 2004, with the club in financial difficulty. In September 2006, he was asked by the Raith Rovers board to take no active part in the running of the team, while they discussed the terms on which he may leave the club.

In May 2007, he returned to junior side Glenafton as manager, taking over from the departing former Partick Thistle boss Gerry Collins.
