Guy Perrett (born 22 March 1975 in Lanark, Scotland) is a former Scotland 'A' international rugby union player who played with Glasgow Rugby, now Glasgow Warriors. His regular playing position was Lock.

He received his only Scotland 'A' cap on 5 November 2002 against Romania.[1] Scotland won the match 21-18.

Perrett's career spanned the amateur and professional era. He represented Glasgow Schools in 1992 and 1993 while still with Bearsden Academy.[2][3] Starting out with West of Scotland[4] he joined Glasgow on the Scottish game turning professional in 1996;[5] a year after the 'Open Game' was announced in 1995.[6] Whilst at university and playing for West of Scotland he shared a flat with Gordon Bulloch and David McLeish. All 3 players went on to represent Glasgow.[7]

He made nine appearances in the Heineken Cup for Glasgow.[8][9] He played in the Scottish Inter-District Championship; in the squad in 1996-97[10] and playing in 1997-98.[11] He played for Glasgow against the touring South Africa national rugby union team.[12]

He played with Glasgow until 2002, although he did drop out of professional rugby for two years to focus on his medical studies.[13]

During this time he played with West of Scotland[14] when not playing for Glasgow.

He joined Edinburgh Rugby[15][16] in 2002. During his Edinburgh time he continued to play for West of Scotland.[17] Again in 2004 Perrett left professional rugby to study medicine.[18] He joined amateur side Glasgow Hawks in 2004 whilst pursuing medicine. Hawks spokesman Hugh Barrow said: "Guy will be a huge asset to us in our title defence. He has made it clear that his medical activities are his priority and we are happy to accommodate that."[18]

By 2006, Perrett had returned once again to his first club West of Scotland.[19][20][21] Perret finished his playing rugby career with West of Scotland in 2010.[22][23] He is now the Director of Rugby for West of Scotland.[24]
