Chris Burke, Scottish footballer
Christopher Robert Burke (born 2 December 1983) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays for Scottish Championship club Kilmarnock. 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.
