Douglas has previously played for several clubs, including Livingston, Dundee, Celtic, Leicester City and Forfar Athletic. Douglas was part of the Celtic side that reached the 2003 UEFA Cup Final, under the management of Martin O'Neill. He is a former Scotland international, having represented his country 19 times between 2002 and 2005.
Douglas began his professional career in 1993 when he signed for Scottish Second Division side Meadowbank Thistle. Meadowbank Thistle were relegated to the Third Division at the end of 1993–94, and in 1995 relocated to Livingston and changed their name accordingly. By this time, Douglas had become their first-choice goalkeeper. The re-branded club had a successful first season and won promotion to the Second Division.
In the summer of 1997, Scottish First Division side Dundee signed Douglas. He was an ever-present in the side as Dundee won the 1997–98 Scottish First Division and gained promotion to the Scottish Premier League. Dundee also had a good run in the 1997–98 Scottish Cup, and Douglas kept a clean sheet in the quarter-final tie at Ibrox as Dundee held Rangers to a 0–0 draw. Dundee, however, lost the replay 2–0. Douglas remained Dundee's first-choice goalkeeper for the next two seasons and into season 2000–01.
