Despite increasing his share of the vote, he lost his seat at the 2019 general election to the Liberal Democrat candidate, Wendy Chamberlain.

At the 2017 general election, Gethins was narrowly re-elected as the MP for North East Fife. He received 13,743 votes, giving him a very slim majority of just two votes over the Liberal Democrats; the joint-third smallest majority in British political history. This was confirmed after three re-counts before being declared. After the election, Gethins was promoted to the SNP Westminster frontbench team of Ian Blackford as the party's Spokesperson for International Affairs and Europe.

In February 2015, he was selected by the local party members to contest the 2015 general election at the North East Fife constituency. He won 18,523 votes (a 40.9% share of the vote) and received a majority of 4,344 votes over the Liberal Democrat candidate, Tim Brett. In May 2015 the SNP made him their Spokesperson on Europe at Westminster. In July he was appointed as a member of the House of Commons Foreign Affairs Select Committee, the first SNP candidate to win the seat.

He was on the list of SNP candidates for the six Scottish seats in the 2014 European Parliament election, although only the first two SNP candidates were elected.

Gethins was born in Glasgow and brought up in Perth. He was educated at Perth Academy. He graduated with a Bachelor of Laws degree from the University of Dundee in 1998, specialising in public international law. He also holds a Master of Research from the University of Kent. He worked in the NGO Sector specialising in peace-building, arms control and democracy in the Caucasus and the Balkans regions. He worked with NGO Links in Tbilisi focusing on the conflicts surrounding the breakaway entities in the South Caucasus such as South Ossetia, Abkhazia and Nagorno-Karabakh. He also worked for Saferworld on arms control, peace-building and democratisation in the former Soviet Union and Balkans.
