Career

Playing

Hislop began his professional career with East Stirlingshire at the age of 22 before moving to full-time football with Ross County a year later.[2] A move to Inverness Caledonian Thistle in early 2003 saw Hislop win the Scottish Challenge Cup and the Scottish Football League First Division title.[2][3] He had a short spell in England with Gillingham before returning to Scotland with Livingston in January 2006.[4][5]

Hislop went on to play for Raith Rovers where he won a Scottish Football League Second Division title before turning part-time with Arbroath and East Fife while opening in business as an optician.[2][6]

Hislop joined Junior club Bo'ness United in June 2012 and moved on to Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic in the summer of 2014 where he assumed a player/coach role.[7][8]

In 2013, he represented the Scotland Junior International Team at the Junior International Quadrangular Tournament scoring a hat trick in 6–0 against The Isle of Man.

Coaching

After retiring from football, Hislop took up the role of assistant manager at Arbroath, working alongside Todd Lumsden.[9] On 31 March 2016, Hislop became manager of Whitehill Welfare in the Lowland Football League,[10] however, in November 2016, after just seven months with the club, Hislop resigned from his position as manager to take up the role of assistant manager to Todd Lumsden at Linlithgow Rose.[11] Hislop and manager Lumsden were fired on 2 May 2017.[12]

On 1 September 2022, Hislop was appointed assistant manager of Colin Nish at Tranent Juniors.[13]
