Brian Irvine (born 24 May, 1965 in Bellshill, Scotland) is a former international footballer who played as a defender. His older brother Alan is also a former footballer.

Career

Irvine began his career with Falkirk in 1983. After two years and nearly forty league appearances for the "Bairns" - where he played alongside his brother - Irvine moved to Aberdeen. During his twelve years with the "Dons", Irvine won the Scottish Cup and was capped nine times by Scotland but was also diagnosed in June 1995 with multiple sclerosis. Despite his diagnosis, Irvine returned to action as a substitute just four months later. After playing over 300 league matches, Irvine left Pittodrie in 1997 and moved to Dundee, featuring nearly seventy times in two years. In 1999, Irvine moved to Ross County, where he finished his playing career in 2003.

After retiring, Irvine stayed with County as a coach, taking his first managerial job in January 2006 with Elgin City.cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/e/elgin_city/4649104.stm|title=Irvine takes over as Elgin boss|date=2006-01-26] In December that year, with the club bottom of the table, Irvine left the club.cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/e/elgin_city/6173589.stm|title=Irvine set to step down at Elgin|date=2006-12-12]
