Craig Wighton is one of the most popular and richest Football Player who was born on July 27, 1997 in Dundee, Scotland.
He was chosen to be part of the Scotland Under-17 squad for the 2014 UEFA European Under-17 Championship. On 23 September 2013, Wighton scored a hat- trick (the first in his professional career), as Scotland beat Slovenia Under-17 3–1. Scotland made it through to the semi-final, however they were eliminated from the competition as they lost 5–0 to the Netherlands.
He became the youngest-ever scorer in a competitive game for Dundee at the age of 16 years, three months and 13 days on 9 November 2013, beating the record held by Jocky Scott, scoring a goal in a 2–0 win against Raith Rovers. His second goal came on 14 April 2014, when he scored after six minutes, as Dundee beat Cowdenbeath 4–0. Throughout his debut season he regularly contributed in the Dundee first team, making a total of 14 appearances and scoring two goals for the club, in all competitions as Dundee won the Scottish Championship. Throughout the season Wighton was linked with a move to Premier League clubs and Rangers. At the end of the 2013–14 season, the club’s manager Paul Hartley said he may consider loaning out Wighton to gain first team experience with the hope he could “do a Stevie May,” the striker who Hartley had on loan at Alloa Athletic from St Johnstone in 2011–12 and had gone on to be a first team regular in the Scottish Premiership, earning a move to Sheffield Wednesday.
