Craig Gunn (born 17 July 1987) is a Scottish footballer who currently plays for Elgin City as a striker. Gunn, who has been with Elgin since 2009, previously played for Wick Academy and Ross County, as well as Peterhead on loan.
Born in Wick, Gunn started his career at his hometown team, Highland League side Wick Academy. He spent just one season there and finished as the club's top scorer with 22 of the club's 42 league goals as the side finished 11th in the table. He also scored three cup goals. In the nine seasons from 1998–99 to 2006–07, Gunn was the only Wick player to get into double figures for league goals.
After his impressive performance in the Highland League, Gunn moved to First Division side Ross County. He stayed there for five seasons, scoring only two goals in 47 league appearances. He made only two appearances for the first team in the 2004–05 season, but was used a lot more in his second season at the Stags. In the league he scored in a 2–1 loss to Gretna, and in a 4–1 win over Hamilton Academical on 13 March 2006. Gunn also scored two cup goals that season; one in the Scottish League Cup in the first round in a 4–2 win over Stranraer and one in the Scottish Challenge Cup in the 4–1 semi-final victory over Albion Rovers. In the 2007–08 season, Gunn made just nine substitute appearances and failed to score.
