He played in the Scottish Youth Cup final in 2007, with Rangers beating Celtic 5–0 at Hampden Park.[2]

On 30 August 2008, Emslie signed for Clyde on loan until 5 January 2009, along with fellow Rangers youth player Alan Lowing.[3] He made his Clyde début a week later, in a 1–0 defeat to Ross County in the Scottish Challenge Cup.[4] The loan spell was set to be extended until the end of January, but Emslie returned to Ibrox early after picking up an injury.[5] He made 11 appearances in all competitions.

Emslie joined Peterhead on loan for the rest of the 2009–10 season.[6] He returned to Peterhead on a one-year contract for the following season, having been released by Rangers.
