Brian Welsh (born 23 February 1969) is a Scottish football manager and former professional footballer. He recently managed Cowdenbeath, having previously played for Dundee United and Hibernian. He is currently Head of Youth Development at Livingston.
Career
Welsh began his career with Dundee United, making his debut in the 1986-87 season. During that season, in 1986, Welsh was part of the Scotland team who reached the semi-finals of the UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship, losing 1-0 to Italy. The following year, he reached the quarter-finals of the World Youth Championship, losing on penalties to West Germany. Welsh became a regular in the United side in 1993–94 and helped the club win the Scottish Cup for the first time, particularly by scoring in the semi-final against Aberdeen.[1] He then experienced relegation in 1995 and subsequent promotion with the club. Welsh scored a crucial goal in a promotion play-off match against Partick Thistle in 1996.[1]
In August 1996, Welsh left Tannadice to join Hibernian in a £200,000 deal.[1] With the Edinburgh club, he again suffered relegation but helped win promotion back to the top division in 1999. After three years in Edinburgh, Welsh had spells with Stenhousemuir, Clydebank and finally Cowdenbeath before retiring in 2002.
After his playing retirment he helped coach the Cowdenbeath squad before being appointed team manager in October 2006, succeeding Mixu Paatelainen.[2] Welsh was sacked by Cowdenbeath in June 2008, following their relegation to the Third Division.[3]
Legal actions
Welsh began legal proceedings against Malcolm Morrison, who was employed as Hibernian club doctor during his time with the club, in 2008.[4] The point of the case was the claim that an injection administered by Morrison had ruined his career,[4] and an out-of-court settlement for a "substantial sum" was reached.[4] In 2009, Welsh won a separate legal battle against another former club, Cowdenbeath, over a compensation claim following his dismissal as manager in June 2008.[3] The club had claimed that they had dismissed Welsh due to him incurring touchline bans due to misbehaviour during matches, but the judge ruled in his favour because the club had taken no action at the time and had dismissed him for unconnected reasons.[3]
