Alan Roderick Rough (born November 25, 1951 in Glasgow) is a Scottish former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper for Partick Thistle and Hibernian. He was also a successful goalkeeper for the Scotland national team. After making his debut at the end of season 1969-70, he went on to play a total of 624 games for Thistle before his transfer to Hibs in 1982. He was a member of the Partick Thistle team that defeated Celtic 4-1 in the Scottish League Cup Final of 1971. After leaving Hibernian in 1988 he played in the USA with Orlando Lions, and also had spells with Celtic, Hamilton Academical and Ayr United before leaving senior football.
He played in two World Cup final stages for Scotland (1978 and 1982) in an international career that saw him play 53 times for his country. He kept a clean sheet in 16 of those games.
In the 1990s Rough had a successful spell as manager (initially player-manager) of junior club Glenafton Athletic. He is now a radio presenter with Real Radio for whom he presents a nightly football phone-in (which is also shown on Setanta Sports), along with Ewen Cameron.
