Gavin Gilbert Price (born 29 January 1974 in Perth)[1] is a Scottish professional football coach and former player, who most recently managed Scottish Highland Football League club Brechin City. [2]

He played as a forward for Forfar Athletic, Kinnoull, Meadowbank Thistle, Brechin City, ADO Den Haag, St Johnstone, Stirling Albion and Altrincham.[1]

After retiring as a player, Price managed junior clubs Kinnoull and Jeanfield Swifts.[3] Elgin City manager Jim Weir, who had played with Price at St Johnstone, appointed him as his assistant in November 2014.[3] After Weir left Elgin during the 2017–18 season, Price was appointed caretaker manager,[4] and was given the position permanently on 12 October 2017.[5] Price remained manager for six seasons, and was sacked in April 2023.[6]

Price was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2020 Birthday Honours for his services to the community in Aberfeldy during the COVID-19 pandemic in Scotland.[7]
