Gary John McSwegan (born 24 September 1970 in Glasgow) is a Scottish professional footballer who currently plays for Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the Scottish Premier League.
McSwegan, a striker, started his career with Rangers, where he scored 5 goals in only 24 appearances during his six years at Ibrox, including a goal against Marseille in the Champions League.
His first team opportunities at Rangers, however, appeared to be limited and in 1993 he joined Notts County for £400,000. Two seasons later he returned to Scotland with Dundee United for £375,000 where he remained for three seasons, scoring 42 goals.
He joined Hearts in 1998 on a free transfer where he notched up 31 goals in 98 appearances. By 2002, however, McSwegan had fallen out of favour at Hearts and subsequently had loan spells in England with Barnsley and Luton Town before joining Kilmarnock where he remained for two seasons, scoring 17 goals.
His next professional club was Ross County where he played 39 games, scoring just 1 goal in two injury-ravaged seasons. Despite these problems, McSwegan has recently returned to top flight football, signing a short-term deal for Inverness Caledonian Thistle in September 2006.
McSwegan won two caps for Scotland, scoring against Lithuania in 1999.
