Craig Brittain (born 10 January 1974) is a Scottish former footballer. He began his career with Glasgow junior side Ashfield before turning 'senior' with Dumbarton. He spent the best part of 11 seasons with Dumbarton and was part of the promotion winning side of 2001-02[2]
A huge favourite with the fans, 'Brittso' played his last game in a Dumbarton shirt in August 2008, missing out on the league winning celebrations at the end of that season.

With Beith, he won the West of Scotland Super League Premier Division title in the 2009-10 season and remained with the club until he retired in July 2013.
