Career

society

Ally Hunter, who was born in Glasgow , started his career about 20 km away in Johnstone in the youth of FC Johnstone Burgh . From 1970 he was under contract for three seasons with the Scottish first division club FC Kilmarnock . In his first season he was able to secure the regular place between the posts. For the Killies , Hunter completed a total of 76 games in Division One . After Hunter played with the Killies in the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup against Celtic in April 1972 , he was able to convince the opponent's club representatives with a strong performance, so that he moved to Celtic Glasgow in January 1973 for a transfer fee of £ 60,000 . For the goalkeeper who was already a fan of Celtic as a child , a childhood dream came true with the signature . He was signed because team manager Jock Stein was dissatisfied with previous goalkeepers Evan Williams and Denis Connaghan . Hunter made his debut in a 1-2 loss on January 27, 1973 to Airdrieonians FC . In the spring of 1973 he was instrumental in the success of Celtic in the Scottish Championship when he remained clean in seven games in a row. He lost the Scottish Cup final with Celtic at the Old Firm against the Rangers . In the 1973/74 season, Hunter alternated with Connaghan as a regular goalkeeper. Hunter played in the league cup final of 1974 and 1975 and Connaghan in the cup final in 1974 . After a 3-0 defeat at the Old Firm at the Rangers on January 4, 1975, Stein lost confidence in Hunter and signed a new goalkeeper with the Englishman Peter Latchford of West Bromwich Albion . Hunter played his last game for Celtic a year later on January 31, 1976 against Dundee United . In April 1976 Hunter moved to Motherwell FC for £ 60,000 . For the club he was used eight times in the 1976/77 season . A season later he was seven times at FC St. Mirren between the posts before ending his career early in 1978.

National team
