Robbie Williamson (born 25 April 1969 is a retired footballer and current manager of Elgin City. Williamson played in midfield for Ross County for most of his professional career.
Williamson's playing career began with Clach and as a youngster he was snapped up by Rangers, only to return to Inverness homesick.
He joined Ross County, and when they were accepted into the Scottish Football League in 1994 he spent five seasons in the Scottish Third Division as they eventually won the title in his final year.
A leg break ended his playing days and he enjoyed his Ross County testimonial at Victoria Park against Gordon Strachan's Coventry City.
His managerial career began at Highland League outfit Clach where he led them to the Highland League title in 2003-04 - their first championship since season 1974-75. This achievement was largely overlooked in Inverness because of the success of their other club Caley Thistle in securing promotion to the Scottish Premier League in the same season.
On leaving Clach, and not wanting to manage another Highland League club, he then went on to become manager of Third Division side Elgin City.
He took over at Borough Briggs in January 2007 following the departure of Brian Irvine.
