until the end of the season. During his time on loan there was much speculation about Rangers possibly being forced to sell players with Hutton saying, "If Rangers need to sell players then it might give younger lads like myself an opportunity because there are definitely kids there who can do a job." Hutton went on to play nine games for Dunfermline Athletic but couldn't help save them from relegation. Queen of the South On 13 August 2015, Hutton joined Queen of the South, signing a contract until January 2016. Hutton debuted for the Doonhamers on 30 August 2015, appearing as a second-half substitute in a 5–1 defeat at home to his former club Rangers. On 8 January 2016, Hutton signed an extension to his current contract, taking him through to the end of the season. St Mirren On 10 May 2016, Hutton signed a two-year contract with St Mirren, after leaving Queen of the South. After just one year, Hutton's contract was terminated by St Mirren on 23 May 2017. Airdrieonians (loan) On 29 November 2016, Hutton moved to Scottish League One side Airdrieonians on an emergency loan deal. On 20 January 2017, the loan was extended until the end of the season. Dumbarton Hutton subsequently signed a six-month deal with Dumbarton on 21 July 2017. He extended his deal until the end of the season on 26 January 2018. After playing 47 times as the Sons were relegated to Scottish League One, Hutton had interest from Inverness Caledonian Thistle to stay with the club in May 2018. He was a virtual ever-present the following season too, playing more minutes than any other player and captaining the side on a number of occasions. Hutton signed a fresh one-year deal with the club, taking him into his third season at Dumbarton, in June 2019. He was named the club's 2019–20 Player of the Year in May 2020 but left two months later at the end of his contract. East Kilbride and Cowdenbeath After leaving the Sons, Hutton dropped to the Lowland Football League to sign for East Kilbride along with Dumbarton teammate Conor Brennan. Following the suspension of the 2021–22 Lowland Football League season due to the COVID-19 pandemic Hutton joined Scottish League Two side Cowdenbeath on loan in March 2021. He joined the club permanently that summer - before having his contract cancelled in January 2022. Forfar Athletic Hutton
