Chris Innes (born 13 July 1976) is a Scottish football coach and former professional player who is currently the youth team coach at Motherwell.
Innes was born on 13 July 1976, in Broxburn, West Lothian, Scotland. He started his career at Stenhousemuir after joining the Warriors from Blackburn United in 1996 and moved to Kilmarnock for £50,000 in 1998. In 1999, he went out on loan twice, to St Mirren for 3 months and to Falkirk for just over a week. In 2003, he moved Dundee United where he played exactly fifty times.
Innes signed for Gretna on a free transfer in 2005. Although he missed out on United's Scottish Cup final appearance that season as he had already left for Gretna, Innes made it the following season when the Black and Whites were runners-up against Hearts. Innes was made captain of the rising club from the borders and helped the side gain promotion from the Scottish Third Division to the Scottish Premier League. After a season of bad results and financial difficulties for Gretna, Innes was made redundant on 25 March 2008. Gretna's reason for releasing their captain was because he had "attracted interest from other clubs".
One of those clubs was New York Red Bulls of MLS, whom Innes trained with in April 2008. However, he decided against a move to the U.S. after failing to settle and returned to Scotland after two weeks, with St Johnstone and Dunfermline Athletic amongst several clubs keen to sign him. In June 2008, Innes was thought to be near completing a move back to Tayside with Dundee, but Livingston announced on their website in July 2008 that he had signed for them. On 31 July 2009, Innes left Livingston to re-sign for St Mirren.
