Born in the Shettleston district of Glasgow and raised mostly in Clackmannanshire,[1] Ogilvie began his senior career with Motherwell, newly crowned champions of the Scottish Football League, in 1932.[lower-alpha 1] He initially had to wait until the departure of the older Johnny Murdoch to claim a regular place in the side, but quickly made an impact at Fir Park and also soon gained a Scotland cap against Austria in November 1933.[9][10] In March 1936, Ogilvie moved south to join Huddersfield Town[11] but before the end of the same year returned to Motherwell (where a John Ogilvie was also on the club's books)[lower-alpha 1] in a swap deal for Willie MacFadyen.[12] Ogilvie appeared in the 1939 Scottish Cup Final, but the Steelmen lost 4–0 to Clyde.

Like many players, his career was interrupted by the Second World War and he concentrated on his engineering work during this time.[9][1] Indeed, in 1941, he moved to Falkirk to be closer to his home and remained there until December 1946 (making over 130 appearances, though all but four in unofficial wartime competitions),[13] before spending eighteen months with Hamilton Academical. A final playing season with Dundee United, which saw him playing in defence, followed before his retirement in 1950.[14] During the 1950s, Ogilvie returned to former club Falkirk as a director.[9]

Ogilvie died in May 1967, aged 55.[9][1]
