Stephen Glass (born 23 May 1976) is a former Scottish professional footballer.
A midfielder, Glass started his career at Aberdeen, with whom he won the 1995 Scottish League Cup. In 1998 he moved to England, transferring to Newcastle United of the Premier League. Shortly after joining Newcastle, Glass made an appearance for Scotland national football team. He joined Watford in the First Division in 2001, before returning to Scotland in 2003 with Hibernian. He joined Dunfermline Athletic in 2007 and was released at the end of the 2009–10 season. Glass played for American club Carolina RailHawks, before joining Shamrock Rovers as assistant manager in January 2012.
Glass started his career with Aberdeen where he was regarded as one of Scotland's brightest prospects. In Aberdeen's League Cup final victory against Dundee in November 1995, he set up both goals in the Dons 2–0 success. His performance earned him the man-of-the-match award (a mountain bike) as well as a winner's medal.
Glass moved to English Premier League team Newcastle United in 1998, for a fee of £650,000. Glass returned to Pittodrie in October 1998, making his first appearance for his country as a substitute in Scotland's 2–1 win over the Faroes Islands. In his first season at St James' Park, Glass made 29 appearances in all competitions, but was hampered by an injury in February. He did however recover to make a substitute appearance in the 1999 FA Cup Final against Manchester United at Wembley.
