Douglas "Dougie" Imrie (born 3 August 1983) is a Scottish football player who plays for Scottish Premiership side Hamilton Academical. Imrie can play as either a forward or a winger, being used to great effect in both positions during his Clyde career. He has previously played for Clyde, Inverness Caledonian Thistle, St Mirren and Greenock Morton. He has also played in the Junior league for Lanark United.
Imrie was born in Lanark and his first club was junior side Lanark United. He made 139 appearances for them, scoring 79 goals. He had previously played for amateur clubs Lanark Thistle and Symington Tinto.
Imrie stepped up to the senior game when Graham Roberts signed him for Clyde in the January transfer window of 2006. He made his debut in the 5–0 victory over Stranraer in the Scottish First Division on 11 February 2006. Imrie's first goal for Clyde was a spectacular overhead volley from the edge of the area against Queen of the South in a 2–1 defeat on 4 March 2006. His next goal was also one to remember, as he scored the winner against Dundee at Dens Park when his cross was deflected into the net.
On 5 August 2006, Imrie signed a new contract, keeping him at Clyde until 2008. In September 2006, Imrie was involved in a collision with Hamilton Academical player Ross McCabe, in which Imrie jumped out of the way of McCabe's tackle, and landed awkwardly on McCabe's neck. McCabe needed emergency assistance on the pitch, and had to retire from football as a result of an underlying heart condition that doctors discovered whilst treating him for the injury sustained in the accident.
