Career

Whilst at Airdrie he had three loan spells at Bathgate Thistle,^[1] Clyde^[2] and East Stirlingshire.^[3]

In the summer of 2014, Lamie signed up with Morton on a short-term contract.^[4] This was extended in January, and he signed on again for the 2015–16 season in May 2015.^[5]

On 28 January 2022, Lamie signed a pre-contract agreement with fellow Scottish Premiership club Dundee.^[10] On 9 April, Lamie would score a last-minute goal against former team Livingston to secure top-six football for Motherwell.^[11] Lamie would score another key goal for Motherwell the next month, netting a winning goal against Hearts which guaranteed the Steelmen European football the next season.^[12] The big goals for Motherwell created questions whether Lamie would join Dundee next season, and Lamie confirmed there was a relegation clause in his pre-contract agreement and stated that things were "still up in the air".^[13] On 24 May, Lamie officially signed a new two-year extension with Motherwell.^[14]

On 26 August 2023, Lamie would join Dundee on a season-long loan.^[15] Lamie made his debut on 2 September and scored his first goal for the club in the same game.^[16] On 23 February 2024, Lamie signed a pre-contract agreement with Dundee for a second time.^[17] However, the PCA would fall apart once again and Dundee announced that Lamie would depart the club in June 2024.^[18]

On 1 July 2024, Lamie joined Scottish Premiership club Ross County on a two-year deal.^[19] Lamie made his debut for the Staggies on 13 July in a win over Stranraer in the Scottish League Cup group stage.^[20] On 23 January 2025, Lamie joined Scottish Championship club Hamilton Academical on loan for the remainder of the season.^[21][22] He made his debut for the Accies two days later, starting in an away league defeat to his former club Livingston.^[23] On 15 February, Lamie scored his first goal for Hamilton in an away victory at Hampden over Queen's Park.^[24]
