Doug began his football career at Queen’s Park, signing professionally with Dundee in 1962. The winger quickly broke into the first team aged 19, and over the next few years he became an important, versatile player at Dens Park. During eleven years, he played in many of Dundee’s European ties, becoming club captain and played alongside future United manager Jim McLean. He was involved in a surprising £30,000 move to Rangers on the final day of the 1972-73 season, but his stay at Ibrox was short.
Having tried to sign his former teammate the year before, Jim McLean brought the 30 year-old to Tannadice for £10,000 in March 1974 and soon after the midfielder played in the United side that took part in the Club’s first Scottish Cup final, where United lost to Celtic at Hampden. Doug went on to become a regular in the line up over the next three years, whilst assisting in the development of the emerging talent coming through from the clubs Youth system. His European experience also helped in United's Cup Winners Cup ties against Juil Petrosani and Bursaspor, as well as UEFA Cup matches against Keflavik and Porto.
He left Tannadice in July 1977 to join St Johnstone, for a fee of around £4,000, and later went into coaching with the Perth side. Doug had spells as manager with Brechin City and Forfar Athletic, and returned to United in 1986 in a coaching role.
