Gordon Greer (born 14 December 1980 in Glasgow) is a Scottish professional footballer currently playing for Doncaster Rovers.

Greer began his professional career with Clyde where he played only 33 games before securing a £250,000 move to English Premiership club Blackburn Rovers. He scored on his Blackburn debut against European giants Barcelona and played one other match for the Lancashire club, in the English League Cup.

Greer had a spell on loan with Stockport County before returning to Scotland to play for Scottish Premier League club Kilmarnock. He has also received international recognition, having been capped for Scotland B against Poland B in December 2005[1]. and against Republic of Ireland B in November 2006[2].

In July 2007, Greer signed for Doncaster Rovers after he rejected a new contract offer from Kilmarnock[3].

His first season at Doncaster was one blighted by several injuries. Greer was restricted to only 6 appearances in 2007/8. His only goal for Rovers came in August 2007 against AFC Bournemouth at the Keepmoat Stadium, a towering header from a corner.
