Gregg Wylde (born 23 March 1991) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Northampton Town on loan from Millwall. He started his career with Rangers, but voluntarily left the club in March 2012, soon after it entered administration. He has since played for Bolton Wanderers, Bury, Aberdeen, St Mirren, Plymouth Argyle and Millwall.
Wylde joined the Rangers youth system from Old Firm rivals Celtic when he was 14.
He made his first-team debut as a late substitute against Hamilton Academical on 29 August 2009. In the 2010–11 season, Wylde made his European debut in the Europa League last 16 tie against PSV, coming on as a substitute for Kyle Lafferty in the 80th minute, as Rangers drew 0–0 with the Dutch side. He then played the full 90 minutes in the second leg, which Rangers lost 1–0, exiting the competition. Wylde picked up his first senior honour with Rangers when playing from the start in a 2–1 victory over Celtic in the 2011 League Cup Final. Afterwards, Wylde revealed he didn't celebrate winning the cup; instead, he went to bed early.
At the start of the 2011–12 season, Wylde rejected an offer of a new contract from Rangers, leading to manager Ally McCoist remarking that the player's agent had "moved the goalposts" regard his demands. Following the rejection of the new contract offer, Wylde's father defended him and accused the club of treating him like an "outcast". On 15 August, Rangers confirmed that they had turned down a £400,000 bid from Bolton Wanderers for the player. Wylde scored his first goal for Rangers on 21 August 2011, during a 3–0 win over Motherwell. Four days later it was announced that he had signed a new five-year contract, with Rangers, keeping him at the club until 2016. Shortly signing the new contract, Wylde said he was delighted to have signed and made it clear he wanted to stay at the club. On 5 November 2011, he was sent off in stoppage time against Dundee United for a wild challenge on Willo Flood in an eventual 3–1 win. After the match, McCoist told Wylde that he would have to learn from his mistake.
