1) "On 13 November 2008, he signed a pre-contract agreement with Scottish Premier League side Hibernian. He agreed an 18-month contract with Hibs, after his contract with Malmö FF expired at the end of the 2008 summer season in Sweden.

3) "He started his professional career as a defender with Dumbarton and had spells at Motherwell and Partick Thistle. He joined Rangers for £165,000 in June 1980. He made his debut for Rangers on 9 August 1980 in a Premier Division match against Airdrieonians which finished as a 1-1 draw. Under then manager John Greig, he played mainly as a striker.

After a two-game stint with Australian side Adelaide City he returned to Scotland to sign for Hearts in September 1985. He left Tynecastle in October 1986 having only played six times, all as a substitute.

After spells in the juniors with Irvine Meadow and Maryhill, he retired in 1990."

***Bonus Bear***

"He began his career at Pollok F.C. during which time he was one of the clubs most prolific scorers scoring over 50 goals in one season. He then joined Rangers in 1973 where, for reasons not fully known they decided to play him as more of a midfielder rather than striker as he had been with Pollok, meaning he never replicated his high scoring at senior level. A two-year stay at Dundee followed in 1977 before brief spells with Berwick Rangers and Albion Rovers."

3/4 without any clues, but I'm embarrassed to say I needed JJ's initials.
 
Getting worse. 1/4.

Got first one. Second I should’ve got but forgot he was at RB. Not close with the rest
