A much travelled goalkeeper despite still being relatively young - especially for someone who plays in that particular position. Started off at Killie and had a few loan spells before going to Dundee United then going round a few lower leagues club. Craig has been capped for Scotland at under-21 level, although had a few off the field issues while with them. Signed for Saints from Ayr in 2010 and his record for making howlers had me rather worried when he arrived. However, I was pleasantly surprised after he deputised for Paul Gallacher and he didn't do too much wrong - although he got away with an error against Rangers. Handed the number one shirt in 2011 following the departure of Gallacher and started the season in fine form, even earning a call up to the Scotland squad. Still makes the odd silly error - partly because of our new passing style of play - but has matured into a decent keeper.
