[3] After spells with Rotherham and Oldham, McBride signed for Hibernian in 1985.

[3] His most significant contribution for Hibs was scoring two goals in an Edinburgh derby at Tynecastle. [3] McBride subsequently had spells with Dundee, East Fife, Albion Rovers, Livingston and Hamilton.

Coaching career

McBride became a coach during his time at Albion Rovers, and was made caretaker manager when Jimmy Crease resigned as manager in December 1995. [5] He subsequently became a youth coach at Celtic, developing players including Aiden McGeady,[ citation needed ] and Cillian Sheridan. [6] A reorganisation of Celtic's coaching staff in 2008 meant that McBride left the club. [7]

McBride subsequently assisted Willie McStay at Újpest FC in Budapest, Hungary and in June 2010, joined Watford as a youth coach, working under the management of fellow Scot Malky Mackay. [8] McBride followed Mackay to Cardiff City and was appointed first team coach on 30 June 2011.

Hibernian Football Club, commonly known as Hibs, is a professional football club based in the Leith area of Edinburgh, Scotland.

The club was founded in 1875 by members of Edinburgh's Irish community, and named after the Roman word for Ireland.

Their local rivals are Heart of Midlothian, with whom they contest the Edinburgh derby.

Season 2007–08 for Hibernian could be split into three distinct parts: a great unbeaten start to the Scottish Premier League season that temporarily took the club to the top of the league; a terrible middle phase which saw a long winless run and the resignation of John Collins as Hibs manager; and, finally, a modest recovery under the management of Mixu Paatelainen, who was appointed in January 2008. This took Hibs into the top half of the SPL, but short of third place and the UEFA Cup spot, which was won by Motherwell.

Hibernian, one of the most prominent clubs in Scottish football, was founded in 1875. The club was named in honour of the Roman name for Ireland and the Ancient Order of Hibernians.

This relative success came after the club had been disappointingly beaten by FK Vetra in the UEFA Intertoto Cup.

Season 2011–12 for Hibernian was their 13th consecutive season of play in the Scottish Premier League (SPL).
