Christopher Robert "Chris" Burke (born 2 December 1983) is a Scottish footballer, who plays for Ross County. He primarily plays as a right winger, but has also played on the left wing.
Burke began his career with Scottish Premier League club Rangers, playing in 131 games, but without establishing himself as a regular first team player. He then played 118 matches over two-and-a-half seasons at Championship club Cardiff City, followed by 155 matches over three seasons at the same level for Birmingham City. He then made 50 league appearances over two seasons for Nottingham Forest. He left Forest after a brief loan spell with Rotherham United. Burke returned to Scottish football in September 2016, signing for Ross County.
Burke has been capped by Scotland at full international level, and scored two goals on his Scotland debut, against Bulgaria in 2006. In addition to this, he has also appeared once for the Scotland B team, and twice for the Scotland under-21 team.
Born in Glasgow, Burke is a product of Rangers' youth system but he had previously played for Celtic Boys Club; he joined Rangers on 5 July 2000. He first broke into the Rangers first team in the 2001–02 season and scored on his début against Kilmarnock on 20 March 2002. He became a regular player in the Rangers squad and was involved in the club's 2003–04 Champions League campaign. In the opening game of the 2004–05 season at Aberdeen, Burke fainted on the pitch and was out of action for almost the whole season with a mysterious virus.
