Colin John Nish (born 7 March 1981) is a Scottish football player and coach. Nish played for Dunfermline Athletic, Alloa Athletic, Clyde, Kilmarnock, Hibernian, Hartlepool United, Dundee, Dumbarton and Cowdenbeath. Whilst playing for Cowdenbeath, Nish was appointed player-manager of the Fife club. Following their relegation to Scottish League Two, Nish's contract was terminated.
Nish grew up in Musselburgh and was a fan of Hibernian.
Nish started his career with Dunfermline, where he made his debut in the 1998–99 season. Nish had two subsequent loan spells with Alloa and a loan spell at Clyde.
Nish joined Kilmarnock in 2003 after being released by Dunfermline. Nish initially signed a six-month deal which ran until Christmas 2003, at which point he agreed a new 18-month contract. Nish initially struggled at Kilmarnock, where fans were often critical of him after a poor start to his spell at Rugby Park. This included missing an open goal in a league match against Hearts from six yards out with the goalkeeper Craig Gordon stranded. After the departure of Kris Boyd, however, Nish's form improved.
