Hutton won ten caps for the Scotland national football team and scored one goal, from a penalty kick in a 2–2 draw against Wales in the 1928 British Home Championship.[4][5] He also represented the Scottish League XI four times.[6]
Hutton managed Belfast club Linfield during the 1940s. During his time in charge, Hutton signed Tommy Dickson for Linfield.[7]
