Derek Daniel Stillie (born 3 December 1973) is a retired Scottish footballer, who played as a goalkeeper for a number of clubs in Scotland and England. After retiring from football, Stillie pursued a career in English law.
Stillie began his career as a young player at Aberdeen and signed professional forms in August 1995 at the age of twenty-one. In his first few months at the club, Stillie was an unused substitute as "The Dons" won the Scottish League Cup. In four years at Pittodrie, he managed only twenty-six appearances and in 1999 he moved south to Wigan Athletic. At the Lancashire club he played 57 times, twice helping them reach the Division Two play-offs.
In July 2002, Stillie moved back north to Dunfermline Athletic where he was a virtual ever-present in the Pars side, making a total of 117 appearances after replacing first choice Marco Ruitenbeek in November that year. In 2003–04, Stillie was part of the Dunfermline side that won through to the Scottish Cup Final but lost to Celtic.
Former Dundee United Manager Gordon Chisholm made his second signing for season 2005–06 by bringing Stillie to Tannadice from Dunfermline for an undisclosed fee, after losing first-choice keeper Tony Bullock to Gillingham.
Stillie was named in two Scotland squads – most recently in October 2003 – but never won a cap, although he was an unused substitute in the Future Cup match against Germany later that month.
