Derek Whiteford (born 13 May 1947 in Salsburgh)[1] was a Scottish football player and manager. He played for Hibernian,[1] Airdrie,[2] Dumbarton[3] and Falkirk.[4]

Whiteford started his senior career with Hibernian, but was soon given a free transfer.[5] He signed for Airdrie and served the club with distinction, making over 400 appearances, including the 1975 Scottish Cup Final.[5]

After retiring as a player, he managed Albion Rovers, Dumbarton and then Airdrie.[5] Whiteford resigned as Airdrie manager in 1987 because he lost enjoyment for the game, and decided to concentrate on his then principal career as a physical education teacher.[5]

Whiteford died in 2002, aged 54.[5]
