Christopher James "Chris" Higgins (born 4 July 1985 in Broxburn) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a left-sided defender for Ayr United. Higgins has previously played for Motherwell, Clyde, Dunfermline Athletic and Queen of the South.
Higgins started his career as a youth player at Motherwell, but failed to break into the first team squad and had no appearances.
Higgins signed for Clyde on 12 June 2005, and made his début on 30 July 2005 in a Scottish Challenge Cup match against Brechin City. Higgins was a vital part of the team in his defensive position at centre-half and only missed two league matches of the 2005–06 season. Higgins was part of the Clyde team that defeated Celtic in a 2–1 shock victory in the third round of the Scottish Cup on 8 January 2006. The former Manchester United captain, Roy Keane happened to be playing in his first match for Celtic that same day.
Higgins scored his first goal for Clyde against Greenock Morton on 27 September 2006 in a 3–1 win in the Challenge Cup. Higgins played in the Cumbernauld-based club's run to the 2006 Scottish Challenge Cup Final where they faced Ross County. With the match level at 1–1 after extra-time the game was decided on penalties. Higgins missed a penalty in the shoot-out that allowed Jason Crooks the opportunity to win the trophy for Ross County. Crooks scored his resultant penalty and the Dingwall club won 5–4 in the shoot-out.
