Andy Halliday, a wee Scottish lad born on 18 October 1991 and now at the ripe old age of 34, contributes his football talents as a midfielder, more specifically a central midfielder, to Motherwell. With a height of 5ft 8in (or 1.73m for those who prefer a less traditional measuring system) and tipping the scales at 10st 7lb (or a sprightly 67kg), he certainly cuts a distinctive figure on the pitch, especially when wearing that striking number 11 jersey. His current market value happens to be in the region of £130k, but don't take my word for it, that's according to Transfermarkt.
On the topic of Halliday's football journey, it all started out in July 2007 when he toddled off to Livingston in the Premiership in Scotland as a trainee. There, he experienced an interesting ride, one that included making one first team league match appearance in his debut season of 2007-2008, moving on to 13 first team leagues appearances and one goal in the 2008-2009 season before concluding with a whopping 32 first team league appearances and 14 goals in the 2009-2010 season.
From Livingston, Halliday set his sights on Middlesbrough in the Championship in England in May 2010, netting Livingston a fee of about £100k. His time at Middlesbrough saw a slew of league appearances (12, 1, 19 and 5 from the 2010-2011 season onwards respectively), peppered with the occasional goal.
Following a temporary stint at Walsall in the League Two in England that saw him make seven league appearances during the 2011-2012 season, Halliday returned back to Middlesbrough and resumed his appearances and occasional goals. This was until January 2014 when he sauntered on to Blackpool on loan, making 18 appearances and scoring one goal.
But the biggest pivotal point and let's admit, the most amusing was his quite conscious decision to transfer from Middlesbrough in the Championship in England to Blackpool in the League One in England while, err, at Blackpool. In fairness, he managed to make another 18 appearances and scored one more goal for good measure.
October 2014 saw our protagonist arriving at Bradford City in the League One in England where he had a relatively productive season, securing 25 first team appearances and managing to elbow in a goal. From there, he journeyed to Rangers in the Premiership in Scotland in July 2015. There, he enjoyed a robust couple of seasons, making a good number of appearances and netting various goals.
He was seen taking the scenic route via Qəbələ in the Premyer Liqası in Azerbaijan on loan in July 2017, only to return to Rangers in January 2018. After a few more seasons with Rangers, our footballing hero finally arrived at Motherwell, where he has been impressing the locals with his performances since 2024.
To bring us bang up to date, in the current season of 2025-2026, Halliday has managed to clock up two first team league appearances for Motherwell, while also featuring in the League Cup 2025-2026 with two starts and three appearances as a substitute. All very impressive, wouldn't you agree?
