Kevin Thomson (born 14 October 1984) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder. Thomson has previously played for Hibernian, Rangers, Middlesbrough and Dundee and has represented Scotland. He plays as a defensive midfielder with key attributes of passing and tackling.
Thomson began his career with Hibernian before joining Rangers in 2007 for a £2m transfer fee. Thomson won five major trophies with Rangers, including back to back Scottish Premier League championships in 2009 and 2010. Thomson was also part of the Rangers side which reached the 2008 UEFA Cup Final. Middlesbrough signed Thomson for a fee of £2m in July 2010, but released him in January 2013 after an injury hit spell at the club. Thomson then rejoined Hibernian in March 2013, but was released in May 2014 after the club was relegated. He then signed for Dundee before joining Hibernian for a third time.
Thomson grew up in Peebles, in the Scottish Borders. His first club was Peebles Thistle, who play in the Eastern Region Youth League. He then moved on to play for Edinburgh side Hutchison Vale before being signed by Coventry City on a four-year contract. Thomson suffered from homesickness and returned to Scotland with Hibernian.
Thomson joined Hibernian on 10 August 2001. He was one of a group of young players who came through their youth team during the early 2000s, also including Steven Whittaker, Derek Riordan, Scott Brown and Garry O'Connor. Thomson established himself as a regular in the Hibernian first team during the 2003–04 season and played in that season's Scottish League Cup final defeat by Livingston, but he suffered a serious cruciate ligament injury during a game against Partick Thistle near the end of that season. The injury meant that he was out of football for almost a year, and he consequently made only four league appearances in the 2004–05 season.
