Allan Moore (born 25 December 1964) is a Scottish football player and manager and is currently the manager of Camelon Juniors.
Playing career
During his playing career he turned out for several Scottish clubs including Dumbarton, Heart of Midlothian, St Johnstone, Partick Thistle and Morton.
Management career
Moore was appointed manager of Stirling Albion in 2002, succeeding Ray Stewart. At this time, the club was languishing at second bottom of the Third Division. Moore's impact was recognised instantly, and in the 2003–04 season he successfully guided Stirling to promotion to the Second Division. Steady progress in the next few years culminated in yet another promotion, via the playoffs, to the First Division at the end of the 2006–07 season. However, this proved too much for Stirling, as the club were relegated back into the Second Division after just one season.
In October 2009, Moore expressed a strong interest in taking the vacant managers position at former club Greenock Morton, citing the move as an opportunity to work at a full-time club. Moore then confirmed that he had been given permission to speak to Morton.{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/morton/8300232.stm|title=Morton make approach for Moore|access-date=23 October 2009|publisher=BBC Sport|date=23 October 2009| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20091012173554/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/morton/8300232.stm| archive-date= 12 October 2009 | url-status= live}} However, after Morton approached Albion over the release of Moore, the compensation package of £160k – £180k was too much for Morton chairman Douglas Rae, and the deal was called off.{{cite web|url=http://www.greenocktelegraph.co.uk/sport/morton/articles/2009/10/29/393463-moore-ruled-out/|title=Moore ruled out|access-date=29 October 2009|date=29 October 2009|work=Greenock Telegraph|first=Roger|last=Graham}}
Moore was appointed manager of Greenock Morton on 26 May 2010.{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/morton/8708508.stm|title=Morton make Allan Moore their new manager|publisher=BBC Sport|date=27 May 2010|access-date=19 September 2012}} He won the First Division Manager of the Month for August 2011, and won it again in October 2012{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/14780613|title=Morton's Allan Moore named manager of month|publisher=BBC Sport|date=4 September 2011|access-date=19 September 2012}} and December 2012.

In November 2017, Moore was handed the role of assistant manager to Danny Lennon at Scottish League Two club Clyde.{{cite web |url=https://www.clydefc.co.uk/news/2017/11/16/5667/#.Wg6ox1u0OM8 |title=Moore Named as Assistant Manager |publisher=Clyde FC |date=16 November 2017 |access-date=17 November 2017}}
In October 2022, the club announced that Moore will take over on an interim basis, following Lennon's departure. {{cite web|url= https://www.clydefc.co.uk/news/2022/10/25/7262/

Business interests
According to an interview with team-mate Paul Cherry in the "J-Files" fanzine, issue 1 of November 1998, Moore operated a burger van during a housebuilding boom seen in Perth from the late 1980s as his St Johnstone career peaked. The enterprise declined in interest once builders moved on to other sites."The J-Files" issue 1, November 1998: https://files.low.me.uk/j-files-issue-1-cherry-page-2.jpeg
