He didn't play a single game last season, and I think he has retired now because he's no longer listed as a player on their website.

Rab Douglas made his debut for Arbroath today, aged 46!

A player making his debut in the 1970s who had a long career was Bobby Geddes. His debut for Dundee was in1979. His last senior appearance would have been in 2000, with Brechin. However, more than once he was called upon in emergency situations, including in 2010 when an injury to the regular goalie meant he played another 63 minutes of 1st team football for Dundee.

Realise this post was over 3 months ago, but there can't have been an older player in the top 4 divisions than Geddes making an appearance. 49 when he played.

As an a side, Rab is only 45, not 46!

I believe Geddes is the oldest to play in the SPFL or its predecessors, at the age of 49.  Andy Millen comes in second - he was 45 years 11ish months when he last appeared for Queen's Park.  Douglas' appearance today at 45 years and 6 months probably comes in third.
