Richard Brittain (born 24 September 1983) is a Scottish former professional footballer currently playing for Brora Rangers. He also spent the 2015–16 season as manager of the club. He started his career at Livingston and has also played for Raith Rovers, St Mirren and Ross County.
Brittain started his career with Almondvale side Livingston in 2002, playing 65 league games and scoring four goals. Brittain was a victim of a team-mate dispute after new signing Sergio Berti spat at him during a pre-season friendly. This led to Berti being sacked by the club, although this decision was later overturned by the Scottish Football Association following an appeal by Berti resulting in the club paying £250,000 plus compensation. During his time at Livingston, he was loaned out to Raith Rovers in 2003.
In July 2006, despite interest from French clubs Montpellier and Racing Club Strasbourg, Brittain chose to sign for Scottish Premier League side St Mirren on a free transfer. At St Mirren, he was most noted for his goal against Rangers on 30 December 2006, which was his only league goal for the Saints.
Brittain was released by St Mirren in May 2008 and signed for Scottish First Division side Ross County in June 2008. Upon his move to Ross County, Brittain was reunited with Derek Adams, the club's manager, the two having played together while at Livingston.
Brittain made his debut in the opening game of the season, as Ross County lost 2–1 against Dundee before scoring his first goal on 13 September 2008, in a 2–1 loss against St Johnstone. Brittain would finish his first season at the club, making thirty-eight appearances and scoring five in all competitions.
