John McKeown (born 21 April 1981) is a former professional footballer who has played for several clubs in the Scottish Football League.
Released by Ipswich Town as a teenager, McKeown made his league debut for Ayr United in a First Division game against Falkirk in May 2000. He later played for Dumbarton, Cowdenbeath and Stenhousemuir and had a spell at Junior level with Cumnock Juniors.[1]
McKeown was forced to retire as a professional player at the age of twenty-seven due to problems with an arthritic hip.[2] He re-entered the game as player-coach of Wishaw Juniors in the summer of 2011, and was appointed manager of the club in October that year, eventually leading the club to their first promotion in thirty-eight years in 2014.[3] [4]
In October 2014, McKeown was announced as the new manager of Cumnock Juniors.[5] He resigned from the club in October 2017 after a successful 3-year period at the club winning The super 1st Div title and leading the club to 2 cup finals and 5 semi finals.[6] The following month, McKeown joined the coaching staff at Cambuslang Rangers.[7]
On the 31 May 2018 McKeown became manager of Shotts Bon Accord.[8]
