Scott Gemmill (born 9 June 1987) is a Scottish former footballer who played as a forward.
Raised in East Kilbride,[1] Gemmill was selected for the Lanarkshire Schools XI in 2002 alongside future Scotland international forward Steven Fletcher, while a pupil at Duncanrig Secondary School.[2] He began his club career with St Mirren, where he made 10 appearances, all as a substitute, scoring no goals. His debut on 9 August 2003 against Raith Rovers at the age of 16 years 61 days made him St Mirren's youngest ever first team player, breaking a mark set by Ricky Gillies; this record still stands.
He was allowed to leave Saints in June 2007, and dropped down to the Scottish Second Division to join Berwick Rangers.[3] He made 30 appearances for Berwick, scoring 8 goals, before leaving the club after one season in June 2008.
Gemmill joined Scottish First Division side Clyde in July 2008, signing a one-year contract.[4] He made his debut a day later, in a 2–0 victory over Annan Athletic in the Scottish Challenge Cup.[5] He scored his first goal for Clyde on 30 August 2008, in a 3–2 victory over St Johnstone.[6] He was released by Clyde in June 2009 along with other out of contract players, due to the club's financial position.[7]
Gemmill went on to join Airdrie United,[1] quickly re-joining the club after being released following their relegation from the Scottish First Division in 2010[8] and playing regularly for two seasons (64 appearances, 18 goals), but left the Diamonds permanently at the end of 2010–11.
