Derek Lyle (born 13 February 1981) is a Scottish footballer who has played as a forward for numerous clubs, including Partick Thistle, Dundee and Hamilton Academical. Lyle's longest spell in his career has been with current club Queen of the South in Dumfries, where he has currently scored 109 goals in 329 appearances.
Lyle's career started at Partick Thistle in 1999. Lyle had loan spells at East Stirlingshire and Queen of the South.
Whilst on loan at Palmerston Park the club lifted the Second Division title in the 2001–02 season. Six league goals in only 13 league appearances sealed a permanent move to Dumfries.
Queens won the Scottish Challenge Cup in the following season. Lyle and John O'Neill scored the goals in a 2-0 win at Broadwood over Brechin City. Lyle scored 16 league goals in 97 league appearances during his this spell at Queens.
Lyle was not always a regular in the team and had loan spells at Stirling Albion and Dunfermline Athletic. After being told by Queens boss Ian McCall that he was not going to be the first-choice striker, Lyle decided to leave the club.
Lyle made an instant impact after joining Dundee from Queens in August 2006, scoring on his debut in a 3–0 win over Clyde. Lyle scored 18 league goals in 53 league appearances at Dens Park.
