Ian Durrant (born 29 October 1966) is a retired Scottish professional footballer who played for the Scottish clubs Rangers and Kilmarnock, as well as the Scotland national team.
Durrant started his career at Rangers and made his debut against Greenock Morton in April 1985. The following season, he was a regular fixture in the Rangers team and scored in his Old Firm debut that season. Durrant was fined £1500 by Rangers in 1987 after his involvement in an incident in a kebab shop after Rangers had won the league championship. In October 1988 Durrant was seriously injured in a challenge by Aberdeen player Neil Simpson. Durrant did not play competitive football for almost three years. He made his next appearance in April 1991, in a reserve fixture against Hibernian and was welcomed back by 47,453 Rangers fans. Durrant went on to play a part in their 1992–93 UEFA Champions League run and helped Rangers equal Celtic's record nine successive league championships, the last of which was clinched in 1997.
In 1998, along with fellow Rangers teammate Ally McCoist, Durrant transferred to Kilmarnock. He spent four years at Rugby Park before retiring and becoming coach of the youth team.
Durrant made his international debut on 9 September 1987 against Hungary, eventually winning 20 caps for Scotland. His final match was against Republic of Ireland on 30 May 2000.
In 2005 he returned to Rangers as coach of the under-19s and, later, the reserve team. Following the resignation of Paul Le Guen as Rangers manager on 4 January 2007, Durrant was caretaker manager until Walter Smith was appointed manager. Durrant lost his only game in charge of the first team, a Scottish Cup tie at Dunfermline Athletic. Durrant worked as a coach of the Rangers first team under Walter Smith and Ally McCoist. He was demoted in December 2014 to a position with the Rangers under-20 team, after McCoist left the club. Durrant left Rangers in June 2016.
