Derek McGill (born 14 October 1975) is a Scottish former footballer who played as a Forward. He enjoyed a five year professional career in Scotland with Falkirk, Hamilton Academical, Raith Rovers, and Queen's Park; and also briefly played for English club Port Vale.

Playing career

McGill started his career with Falkirk in 1993, but after three years he moved on to Hamilton Academical. Four goals for the Second Division club justified a move into the Scottish Premier League with Raith Rovers in 1996. He made eight SPL appearances in the 1996–97 season. The club were relegated and the next season McGill was used more frequently in the First Division. He bagged a brace on his return to Douglas Park, as Academicals had achieved promotion the previous season.

In September 1998, McGill completed his Scottish Football League set by dropping into the Third Division with Queen's Park. The next month he moved south to England, signing for Port Vale in the First Division on a free transfer. He made three substitute appearances away from Vale Park before returning to the Scottish First Division in December 1998 with old club Hamilton. However he was released before the year was out.
