Berwick Rangers and Third Lanark
After the ankle injury Houliston was never the same player again. He was released by Queen of the South in July 1952. While holidaying in Blackpool he was pursued by dignitaries of Berwick Rangers. A contract was offered and Houliston signed while still on holiday. Houliston spent only one season at Berwick where fate meant the club were drawn to play against Queen of the South in the Scottish Cup. A last minute goal gave Queens a 3-2 victory.
Houliston then had a brief spell with Third Lanark before retiring in 1953.
