As a player , Williamson was a striker . He began his career at Clydebank and scored 35 goals in 85 matches . Williamson earned a £100,000 move to Rangers during the 1983–84 season . Five months after signing for Rangers , Williamson broke his right leg while on a night out during an end of season tour of Australia . The injury was initially expected to keep him out of action for two or three months , but Williamson did not return to full training until December 1984 . After an injury-hit spell with Rangers , Williamson moved to West Bromwich Albion in 1986 , in part-exchange for Jimmy Nicholl . Williamson also played in the Football League for Rotherham United . He returned to Scotland in 1990 to join Kilmarnock , which proved to be his last club as a player . Managerial career . Kilmarnock . Williamson became the manager of Kilmarnock following the departure of Alex Totten . In his first season as manager , the club won the 1997 Scottish Cup Final by beating Falkirk 1–0 at Ibrox . Kilmarnock finished highly in the Scottish Premier League and he guided them into Europe , playing a total of four two-legged ties over three seasons . He also attracted high-profile players including former Scotland internationals Ally McCoist and Ian Durrant , and the former French international Christophe Cocard . Hibernian . Williamson took up a new challenge at Hibernian in February 2002 , where he inherited a team that had gone 18 league games without a win . A win against St Johnstone in Williamsons first match in charge effectively removed the danger of relegation . Due to financial problems at the club , Williamson had to move on several senior players , but he did not endear himself to the Hibs fans . He lightheartedly joked about this relationship by referring to himself as a weegie hun . Nonetheless Hibs produced several excellent young players , including Scott Brown , Derek Riordan , Garry OConnor , Kevin Thomson and Steven Whittaker . Williamson guided his young team to the 2004 Scottish League Cup Final , but they were beaten 2–0 by Livingston . Plymouth . Williamson moved to Plymouth Argyle on 20 April 2004 . By winning his first match in charge , the club won promotion to the Football League Championship . After keeping the Pilgrims in the division in his first full campaign , a poor run of results at the start of the 2005–06 season led to his dismissal on 6 September 2005 . Financial constraints at Plymouth Argyle resulted in a number of signings which contributed to his demise , most notably Taribo West . He was replaced by Tony Pulis , who had recently been sacked by fellow Championship side Stoke City . Chester . Williamson appeared as a pundit on BBC Radio Scotlands Sportsound before he was appointed as Chester City manager on 11 May 2007 . Williamsons first Football League match in charge of Chester ended in a 0–0 draw with Chesterfield on 11 August 2007 and has established them as a promotion contender in the opening months of the season . After mid-season , Chesters form began to drop rapidly , winning only 1 out of 14 games since Boxing Day ; Williamson was sacked on 2 March 2008 . Uganda . On 19 August 2008 , Williamson was appointed by FUFA to be the coach of the Uganda national football team . Williamson replaced Csaba László , who resigned in July 2008 to join Scottish Premier League side Hearts . Within days of being appointed , Williamson was given the ultimatum of winning his first two games against Niger and Benin to earn a longer contract . He succeeded in doing that , and their FIFA World Ranking steadily improved during his first two years in charge . Williamson led his Uganda team to the 2011 CECAFA Cup . Uganda almost qualified for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations , losing on a penalty shootout in their qualifying playoff tie against Zambia . Uganda had a bad start to 2014 World Cup qualifying , taking just two points from three games . It was announced on 8 April 2013 that Williamson had been sacked by Uganda . Gor Mahia . On 5 July 2013 , it was announced that Williamson agreed terms with Tusker Premier League side Gor Mahia to join the club as their new head coach .
