Barry Douglas (born 4 September 1989, Glasgow, Scotland) is a Scottish footballer who plays for Scottish Premier League (SPL) club Dundee United as a left back. He joined the club in June 2010 after previously playing for Queen's Park.
Douglas attended Lourdes Secondary in Glasgow, and played for youth teams for Livingston but was released at the age of sixteen because he was considered "too small". He spent a year out of football before joining Queen's Park, becoming part of their first team squad in 2008. Douglas made his senior debut in August 2008, in a Scottish Football League Second Division match against Stranraer.
He went on to become a first team regular for Queen's Park, playing for the amateur club while also working as a refrigeration engineer for KB Refrigeration LTD. His performances saw him linked with a number of professional clubs in Scotland and England despite Queen's being relegated to the Third Division in 2009. Douglas continued to impress at the lower level, scoring nine goals from his full back position during the 2009-10 season (he was the Queen's Park top scorer). Speculation that Douglas would not return to Queen's for a further season proved true on 20 June 2010 when he was signed professionally by Dundee United. His debut for his new club came in August of that year, as a substitute against Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the SPL.
