Kyle Hutton (born 5 February 1991) is a professional Scottish association footballer who plays as a midfielder. He has previously played for Rangers, Partick Thistle, Dunfermline Athletic and Queen of the South, St Mirren and Airdrieonians.
Hutton made his professional debut for Rangers in the opening Scottish Premier League match of the season against Kilmarnock on 14 August 2010, coming on for James Beattie. He made his first start against Dunfermline Athletic on 21 September 2010. He picked up his first senior honour after coming on as an 82nd-minute substitute for Rangers in a 2–1 extra-time victory over Celtic in the 2011 Scottish League Cup Final. A fortnight before, Hutton had signed a new contract with Rangers, keeping him there until 2014.
In October 2012, after returning from loan spells with Partick Thistle and Dunfermline Athletic, Hutton hoped his performances could see him feature more regularly for the first team. Ahead of the 2012–13 season Hutton agreed to transfer to Charles Green's new club saying, 'For me, it is in my best interests to stay where I am and to try to establish myself in the side next season. I feel I've got a lot more to give the club.' After starting in Rangers' first game against Brechin city in late July, Hutton wouldn't feature again till late September, coming on as a substitute in the League Cup against Motherwell for the injured Francisco Sandaza. His performance earned many plaudits, with Hutton saying afterwards he was 'in the dark' over why he hadn't featured more. In November 2013, Hutton suffered a broken leg, ruling him out of action on a long-term basis.
