Former Rangers winger takes career next step with coaching role at Kilmarnock

Chris Burke has returned to Kilmarnock as a coach with the former Rangers winger starting the next stage of his career.

The 38-year-old left the Rugby Park club as a player in May after their Championship title win and initially wanted to continue playing. But he's decided that a route into coaching as the club’s new Reserves, U18s and Intermediates Coach is what is best for him. Burke made 108 appearances for Rangers over seven years before moving to Cardiff City in 2009.

He's been at Kilmarnock since 2017, saying of his next move: “I did a lot of thinking and reflecting after coming to a crossroads in my life on what path to take next. I now have clarity in how I feel. I know I said I was going to continue playing but I must say that I had to come back to the club.
