Rae grew up in Aberdeen, Scotland. During his youth he attended football matches with a tape recorder to work on his commentary. At the age of 15 he began his professional broadcasting career calling games for a radio station that broadcast to local hospitals. In 1986, BBC Radio Scotland announcer David Francey suffered a knee injury and Rae, a 19-year-old student at the University of Aberdeen who had sent the BBC a copy of his radio work, substituted for him on the call of a Scottish Premier Division game between Kilmarnock F.C. and Dumbarton F.C.. The network was impressed and hired Rae to call the Rous Cup match between rivalsEngland and Scotland the following week. The BBC then hired him as its Scotland football correspondent, a job he held for five years. Rae was the 1987 British Sports Broadcaster of the Year.
Career
Rae moved to the United States in anticipation of the 1994 FIFA World Cup. FIFA hired him as a press officer and he oversaw the World Cup games that were held at Foxboro Stadium. Rae met his wife Beth Powers while working on World Cup preparations and the two would later settle in Beverly, Massachusetts.

The win against Serbia was the ultimate Scottish rollercoaster – Derek Rae | ESPN FC
Scotland reached its first major tournament since 1998 with a penalty-shootout win vs. Serbia, so who better than our resident Scotsmen Craig Burley and Derek Rae to reflect on a historic night for their countrymen? Rae says it wasn’t a fluke Scotland got past Israel and Serbia on penalties and compared it to a “Germanic level of efficiency” from the spot. Burley looks ahead to Euro 2020 itself and "showcase games" against England and Croatia.
