Gordon Greer (born 14 December 1980 in Glasgow) is a professional footballer, who plays as a defender for Blackburn Rovers and Scotland.
Greer began his professional career with Clyde where he played only 33 games before securing a £250,000 move to English Premiership club Blackburn Rovers. He made his Blackburn debut against European giants Barcelona and played one other match for the Lancashire club, in the Football League Cup.
Greer had a spell on loan with , scoring once against Wycombe Wanderers, before returning to Scotland to play for Scottish Premier League club Kilmarnock. He has also received international recognition, having been capped for Scotland B against Poland B in December 2005, and against Republic of Ireland B in November 2006.
In July 2007, Greer signed for Doncaster Rovers after he rejected a new contract offer from Kilmarnock. His first season at Doncaster was blighted by several injuries and Greer was restricted to only six appearances in 2007/08, though he did manage to score his first goal for the club against Bournemouth. During the 2008/2009 season he joined League One side Swindon Town on an initial one-month loan which was later extended for a further two months thanks to a financial contribution from TrustSTFC's Red Army Fund. On his return to Doncaster, he was released from his contract on 7 May 2009 after only 12 appearances in two years.
