Career

Playing

McBride started his career with Celtic, but did not make a first team appearance for the club. [1] He moved to Motherwell, initially on loan, and made 63 league appearances for the Fir Park club. [1]

McBride then had a brief spell with Darlington making 6 league appearances and scoring 1 goal. He returned to Scotland with Falkirk in January 2008. [2] McBride had a public dispute with the Falkirk fans towards the end of the 2008–09 season, after the supporters' trust had called for manager John Hughes to be sacked. [3]

McBride was released by Falkirk on 27 June 2009. He then followed Falkirk manager Hughes by signing for Hibernian. [1] He featured in every game for Hibs at the start of the 2009–10 season, forming a midfield partnership with Liam Miller, but was subsequently hampered by a longstanding ankle injury.

On 22 August 2010, McBride was sent off, along with opponent Kyle Lafferty, in a match against Rangers. [4] Manager John Hughes was "bemused" by both red cards. [4] Three weeks later, McBride was temporarily handed the captain's armband, with captain Chris Hogg and vice-captain Ian Murray dropped to the bench for the match against Inverness CT. [5] McBride lost his place in the side after Colin Calderwood was appointed manager. [6]

On 24 March 2011, it was reported by the Edinburgh Evening News that McBride had joined Raith Rovers on a short-term deal until the end of the season. [7] During his spell at Raith Rovers McBride was advised that his contract with Hibs will not be renewed. [8]

McBride signed for Hamilton Academical on a short-term contract in October 2011. [9] Dundee signed McBride on a short-term contract in March 2012, after a successful trial period at the club. [10] He helped Dundee win the 2013–14 Scottish Championship, scoring two goals in 27 appearances. [11] After three seasons with Dundee, McBride left the club by "mutual consent". [12] In July 2015, he signed for Scottish League One side Airdrieonians. [13]

McBride made the decision to retire from playing at the end of December 2015 to concentrate on a coaching role at Airdrieonians. In May 2016, McBride was promoted to the position of first team coach at Airdrieonians. [14] He was given responsibility for managing first team affairs while Eddie Wolecki Black continued his recovery from a stroke. [14] McBride left this position on 31 October, when the club brought in Gordon Dalziel as director of football and Mark Wilson as first team coach.

On 17 February 2017 it was announced that McBride had joined Raith Rovers as assistant manager. [15] McBride left Raith on 13 May 2017, after they were relegated to League One. [16]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">2009–10 in Scottish football</span>

The 2009–10 season was the 113th season of competitive football in Scotland.

Season 2009–10 for Hibernian was their eleventh consecutive season of play in the Scottish Premier League. The SPL season began on 15 August 2009, with a 2–1 win against St Mirren at home. After a very strong start to the season in which they challenged for the league leadership, Hibs then had a slump in form in the later part of the season. The team eventually secured a Europa League place via finishing fourth in the SPL by winning 2–0 on the final day at Tannadice. Hibs were eliminated from the Scottish Cup in a quarter final replay by Ross County and were knocked out of the Scottish League Cup in the third round by St Johnstone.

Season 2010–11 for Hibernian was their 12th consecutive season of play in the Scottish Premier League. It was the first season played in the redeveloped Easter Road stadium, with its capacity increased to over 20,000 for the first time since it became an all-seater stadium in the early 1990s. The SPL season began on 15 August 2010 with a 3–2 win at Motherwell. Hibs competed in the UEFA Europa League, losing 6–2 on aggregate to Slovenian club NK Maribor. They also lost at the first stage of competition in the Scottish League Cup, losing 3–1 at Kilmarnock. Those cup defeats and a poor start to the league season led to manager John Hughes leaving by mutual consent in early October. Colin Calderwood was appointed as the new manager, but struggled to make any sort of impression, as they were knocked out of the Scottish Cup by Ayr United and fell into a relegation battle. A winning streak after the January transfer window meant any danger was quickly averted, but the team still finished in the bottom six.
