Robert Harris (born 28 August 1987 in Glasgow) is a Scottish football defender currently playing for Queen of the South.

Career

Harris began his footballing career with Clyde, but moved to Rangers for a year, before returning to the Bully Wee's youth setup.

Harris signed professional terms for Clyde at the start of the 2004/05 season, and made his senior debut on the last day of the campaign, playing the full ninety minutes in a 1-1 draw against Ross County. Harris played more games the following season, including Clyde's 5-2 AET encounter with Rangers, in the Scottish League Cup. Harris won the penalty which gave Clyde the lead.

Harris got an extended run in the team in the latter half of the 2006-07 season, due to the injury to Neil McGregor.

Harris signed for Queen of the South in July 2007. Harris scored his first senior goal with a left foot shot against Dunfermline Athletic in the 1-1 draw in the middle of March.

Harris scored his first goal of the 2008-09 season with a long range effort away to FC Nordsjælland in the UEFA Cup 2nd qualification round. This makes Harris the first and only Queens player to score in the away leg of a UEFA competition.
