Douglas "Dougie" Arnott (born 5 August 1964, Lanark, Scotland) is a Scottish former footballer who played as a striker. Arnott's entire career was at Motherwell, spending twelve seasons with the Fir Park club before retiring due to an injury in 1998. In 1990-91, Arnott was part of Motherwell's Scottish Cup-winning side, which was his only senior honour.

On 11 September 2008, Arnott's belated testimonial match went ahead against an Old Firm select.^[1] Other players lined up for Arnott's side included former goalkeeper Sieb Dijkstra and defenders Chris McCart and Fraser Wishart, while the Old Firm team included Ally McCoist and Gordon Durie.^[2] The Old Firm side won 5-4, in a game which saw Arnott score the first of the match, and Ally McCoist net a hat-trick. Competition winner and Motherwell fan Grant Rough, who won the chance to play for 45 minutes for the Motherwell side during the game in a prize draw, was more involved than he may have liked, he gave away a dubious penalty kick when he felled Billy Dodds in the box, from which Andy Walker scored. ^[3]

Retirement

Since retiring from football, Arnott has purchased a number of pubs, including "The Wee Thackit" in Carluke.^{[citation needed]}

He now works as the bar manager of the Millennium Suite bar inside Fir Park, Motherwell FC's home ground.
