Greg Kiltie (born 18 January 1997) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a winger for Scottish Premiership club St Mirren.

Early life

[edit]

Kiltie was born in Irvine.[2] As a nine-year-old child he was a mascot in the Brazil-Australia group game at the 2006 FIFA World Cup, after winning a competition organised by the Sunday Mail.[3] His father Jim is a BT engineer.[3]

Club career

[edit]

He signed a professional contract with Kilmarnock at the age of 16.[2] He made his senior debut for Kilmarnock on 18 May 2013, as they lost 3–1 at home to St Mirren in a Scottish Premier League game.[3][4][5] His debut came at the age of 16 years and four months, making him Kilmarnock's youngest player for 50 years.[3]

On 3 October 2014, Kiltie signed for Scottish Championship club Queen of the South on a one-month loan.[6]

During the 2016–17 season, Kiltie was out for six months following knee surgery in October,[7] then on 20 May 2017, during Kilmarnock's final match of the season against Ross County he was injured during the first half.[8] It was later announced he had suffered a broken ankle and following an operation, he was not able to play again for seven months.[9]

In January 2019 he moved on loan to Greenock Morton.[10]

Kiltie moved on a season-long loan to Dunfermline Athletic on 2 September 2019, with both clubs having a recall option on the loan in January.[11] Kiltie said that he made the move after Kilmarnock manager Angelo Alessio didn't give him a "fair chance".[12] While on loan at Dunfermline, Kiltie scored the opener in a 3–2 win against his parent club's rivals Ayr United on 19 October 2019.[13] Kiltie returned to his parent club in January 2020.[14] On 1 June 2020 he signed a new one-year contract.[15] He left Kilmarnock in June 2021.[16]

He signed for St Mirren on 6 June 2021, on a two-year contract.[17][18]

International career

[edit]

Kiltie has represented Scotland at every youth international level from under-15 to under-19.[19][20]
