Rory James Loy (born 19 March 1988) is a Scottish professional footballer, currently playing for St Mirren, on loan from Scottish Premiership side Dundee. He has previously played for Rangers, Dunfermline Athletic, St Mirren, Carlisle United and Falkirk. Loy has also represented Scotland at under-21 international level.
Loy was born in Dumfries on 19 March 1988 and grew up in the town of Stranraer and the village of Sandhead. He attended Sandhead Primary School and Stranraer Academy.
Loy began his career with Kilmarnock in 2004 at age of fourteen before being snapped up by Rangers for £20,000 in 2006. In October 2007, Loy signed a one-year extension to his Rangers contract to remain at Ibrox until the summer of 2009. In March 2009 having impressed on loan, Loy signed a further two-year extension to his Rangers contract, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2011.
He made his first team debut in a Scottish Premier League match against Inverness CT on 1 November 2008, coming on as a substitute in the 56th minute.
In December 2008, he joined Dunfermline Athletic on loan until 26 January 2009. After the move, Loy revealed it was a chance he couldn't turn down. Loy made his debut, several days after joining the club, coming on as a substitute for Andy Kirk, in a 2–1 win over Queen of the South and on 17 January 2009, Loy scored his first goal for the club, in a 1–1 draw against Airdrie United. In January 2009, his loan was extended till the end of the season. Having agreed the loan extension, Loy believed it could help him earn a first team place when he returned to Rangers. Later in the season, Loy scored two more goals in a separate match against Partick Thistle and Morton.
