Mark Wilson (born 5 June 1984) is a Scottish footballer, who played as a right back. Wilson is currently head coach of Scottish League One club Airdrieonians.
Wilson started his career at Dundee United and he broke into their first team in the 2002–03 season. He moved to Celtic in January 2006 for a fee of £500,000. Wilson suffered significant injury problems while with Celtic, which limited his appearances, and he was released at the end of his contract in 2012. He then signed for English Championship club Bristol City before rejoining his first club on a short term contract in 2013. He left Dundee United in January 2015, signing for Dumbarton the following month.
Wilson represented Scotland at all youth levels and captained the under-21 team. He played once for the Scotland national football team, in 2011.
Mark Wilson was born in Glasgow on 5 June 1984.
Wilson started his career with Dundee United. He joined as a youth player, turned professional in 2000 and made his senior début in January 2002. Signing a new two-year contract just months later, he began the next season as a regular. Wilson scored his first goal in December 2002, a header opening the scoring in a 1–1 home league draw against Hibernian. Five days later, Wilson was announced as the SPL Young Player of the Month for November, saying it was a "great honour to be given this award". Before the end of that season, Wilson signed a new three-year contract, committing himself to the club until the end of the 2005–06 season.
