Template:Short description Template:Use British English Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox football biography Gordon Scott Durie (born 6 December 1965) is a Scottish former professional football player and coach. He was a utility player who usually played as a striker for East Fife, Hibernian, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Rangers and Hearts. He was also capped 43 times by Scotland. After retiring as a player in 2001, in 2010, he became a coach and manager, working for East Fife and Rangers as an assistant.

Playing career

Durie started his senior career with East Fife, and he then moved to Hibernian in 1984;[1] while still in his teens, he played on the losing side in the 1985 Scottish League Cup Final with Hibs,[2] who sold him to Chelsea for £400,000 in 1986.[3]

His spell with Chelsea from 1986 to 1991, yielded 63 goals in total from 153 appearances, and they won the Football League Second Division in 1989.[4] in 1991, Durie moved to Tottenham Hotspur for a £2.2 million fee.[5] Durie scored on his debut in a 3–2 away win at The Dell versus Southampton. He was also their first goalscorer in the Premier League, in a 2–2 home draw with Crystal Palace on 22 August 1992.[6]

The forward then joined boyhood favourites Rangers in November 1993[5] and Durie played a major role in winning the last four of their 'nine in a row' of Scottish league championships and playing a handful of matches in two later title wins.[7] Durie scored a hat-trick in the 1996 Scottish Cup Final to help Rangers beat Hearts 5–1[8][9] and collected runners-up medals in the competition in 1994 and 1998; he was a Scottish League Cup winner in 1998.[7]

Durie left Rangers at the end of the 1999–2000 season after 179 appearances and 52 goals.[7][10] After turning down an offer from Australia, Durie signed for Hearts in September 2000.[10] He stayed there for the rest of the 2000–01 season, after which he retired from playing.

International career

Durie made his international debut for Scotland on 11 November 1987, in a 1–0 against Bulgaria.[11] He was capped 43 times in all, scoring seven goals.[11] He was one of Scotland's bright spots in their team at Euro '96. And Durie scored the second goal in a 2–0 win against Latvia that clinched qualification for the 1998 FIFA World Cup.[12] The last time he played for the Scottish team was during that World Cup, in a 3–0 defeat against Morocco.[11]

Coaching career

Durie was appointed assistant manager of East Fife in November 2010.[13] On 1 March 2012, he was made caretaker manager at Bayview following the departure of John Robertson.[14] Durie took the job on a longer-term basis, but then suffered from ill health.[15] He resigned in November 2012, due to this illness.[16]

Durie joined the Rangers coaching staff in July 2013, to work with the reserve and under-20 teams.[17] He was promoted to a first team coaching role in December 2014, following the departure of manager Ally McCoist.[18] Durie left Rangers in July 2015, as new manager Mark Warburton made changes to the coaching staff.[19]

Personal life

His son, Scott, was a youth player at Rangers and signed for East Fife in 2010.[20]

Durie was declared bankrupt in 2016, due to a failed investment in a film production company.[21][22]
