[edit] Career
Imrie's first club was junior side Lanark United.
Imrie stepped up to the senior game when Graham Roberts signed him for Clyde in the January transfer window of 2006. Imrie made his début in the 5-0 victory over Stranraer in the Scottish First Division. Imrie's first goal for Clyde was one to remember, a spectacular overhead volley from the edge of the area against Queen of the South. His next goal was also one to remember, as he scored the winner against Dundee at Dens Park with a goal from just over 30 yards.
In September 2006, Imrie was involved in a collision with Hamilton Academical player Ross McCabe, in which Imrie jumped out of the way of McCabe's tackle, and landed awkwardly on McCabe's neck.[1] McCabe needed emergency assistance on the pitch, and had to retire from football as a result of the accident, and an underlying heart condition that doctors discovered whilst treating him.[2] This has led to a heated rivalry between fans of both clubs.
In November 2007, he had a trial period with Nottingham Forest.[3]
Imrie's final game for Clyde came in a 3-2 defeat against rivals Hamilton Academical on 26 January 2008. His last Clyde goal came in this game, a memorable free kick from 25 yards out.
On the 31st January he signed a two and half year deal with Inverness Caledonian Thistle for £35,000, which could rise to £40,000 depending on appearances. Imrie can play as either a forward or a winger, being used to great effect in both positions during his Clyde career.
Imrie has settled in fairly well at Caley Thistle since his arrival. He registered two assists in a game against Gretna and scored his first goal, a a free kick in a home game against Kilmarnock.
