Club career

McAllister, who attended Renfrew High School, [5] began his career with Scottish Championship club St Mirren, making his first team debut on 13 February 2016, coming on as a second-half substitute in 1–0 defeat against Queen of the South. [6] His first full start for the side came the following week, when the Saints defeated relegation threatened Dumbarton 1–0. [7]

During the 2016–17 season, McAllister made 14 appearances for St Mirren, scoring his first goal in a Scottish Cup match against Lowland League side Spartans, [8] described as "ferocious shot" following a run from his own half. [9] [10] After interest from a number of English clubs, [11] he signed for English Championship side Derby County on 27 January 2017 for an undisclosed fee, [12] reported to be £225,000. [13]

In January 2019, having been unable to break through to the first team at Derby with his progress hampered by a groin injury, [13] McAllister returned to St Mirren on loan until the end of the season. [14] Just days later, he marked his return to the club by scoring the winning goal in a 3–2 Scottish Cup win at home to Alloa Athletic, [15] (it was awarded 'goal of the round', as had his debut strike in 2016) [16] and made 14 Scottish Premiership appearances as the club stayed in the division via the relegation playoff. [17] [18]

On 9 August 2019, McAllister left Derby and signed a three-year contract with St Mirren. [19] [4]

On 31 January 2022, McAllister joined Scottish Championship side Partick Thistle on loan until the end of the season. [20]

On 17 June 2022, McAllister agreed to join recently promoted League One club Forest Green Rovers following his release from St Mirren. [21]

International career

Having previously appeared for the under-17 team, [22] McAllister made his debut for the Scotland under-21 team in March 2019. [23]
