Craig was sidelined by a calf injury in the opening weeks of the 2000-01 campaign and it was not until the end of September that he returned to full fitness. A midfield schemer he prefers a role on the right-hand side from where he can link up between defence and attack and deliver some telling crosses into the opposition penalty area. After the success of the previous season he played a more muted role as Derby County struggled to avoid relegation. Although possessing a venomous shot he only scored four goals, the most notable being that which earned three vital points against Sunderland in March.
A regular for Scotland at international level, the nephew of Derby boss George Burley joined Dundee in September 2003 on a two-year contract but, after this was cancelled due to the club's severe financial troubles, he teamed up with his former Scotland boss Craig Brown at Preston North End in a short-term deal in January 2004 but was released after a month at Deepdale. He then joined Walsall on a contract to the end of the 2003-04 season.
