Albert Craig (born 3 January 1962 in Glasgow) is a Scottish former footballer who played as a midfielder.

Career

Craig began his career with Dumbarton in 1981 and made over 150 appearances for the Sons over a five-year period. A move to Hamilton Academical in 1986 won him a move to Newcastle United just six months later but saw him play just ten times. Loan spells back at Hamilton Academical and also with Northampton Town preceded a move back to Scotland with Dundee in 1989. Craig spent three years at Dens Park before moving to Partick Thistle in August 1992, where he went on to make over 100 league appearances. In 1996, Craig moved to Falkirk before year-long spells with Stenhousemuir and Partick Thistle (again) to finish his career.

Off the pitch, Craig received a twelve-month prison sentence in July 2005 after admitting stealing over £40,000 from the Royal Mail in a postal fraud.[2]
