Patrick McGinlay (born 30 May 1967) is a Scottish former professional footballer who played as a midfielder and is best known for his two spells at Hibernian.[2][3][4]
McGinlay grew up in the Partick area of Glasgow and was an outstanding schoolboy player, captaining St Peter's Boys School in Partick and playing for St Thomas Aquinas Secondary School in Jordanhill and Bearsden Boys Club. Though many Scottish clubs were watching his performances as a centre forward, he began his career as an apprentice with English club Blackpool[3] but returned to Scotland to join Hibernian in 1987. After two years on the fringes he became an important part of the team under manager Alex Miller, who played McGinlay as a midfielder instead of a forward/winger. He was in the Hibs side that won the Scottish League Cup in 1991,[2] and went on to make over 150 appearances in his first stint at Easter Road.[5]
In 1993, he was signed by Celtic, the club he supported as a child,[3] for a fee of £525,000 after he impressed then boss Liam Brady. He made his debut on 7 August 1993 as a substitute in a 2–2 draw away to Motherwell. However, after just over fifteen months he was on the move again as he was not part of new manager Tommy Burns's plans,[2] in spite of McGinlay being Celtic's top goalscorer in the previous season.[3][6] With the cash raised from selling McGinlay, Burns bought Tosh McKinlay – one of McGinlay's old St Peters Boys teammates – from Hearts.
McGinlay rejoined Hibs for a fee of £420,000 on 1 November 1994. He remained at Easter Road for six seasons,[5] experiencing a relegation followed by a promotion before moving to Ayr United. Whilst at Ayr, McGinlay enjoyed a cup run which ended with him being on the losing side in the 2002 Scottish League Cup Final.[2] He made 74 appearances in all competitions for the Honest Men and scored 23 goals before retiring in 2005. He later operated a cleaning business in Cambuslang with his wife Margaret.[2][3]

Season 1999–2000 was Hibs' first season back in the top flight of Scottish football, the newly founded Scottish Premier League, after gaining promotion from the First Division in 1999. Hibs re-established themselves well in the top flight, finishing in sixth place. The club also had a good Scottish Cup run, but were disappointingly beaten 2–1 by Aberdeen, who finished bottom of the SPL, in the semi-final at Hampden Park. The season was also memorable for Hibs fans due to a 3–0 win in the "Millennium derby" against Hearts. There was a landmark day towards the end of the season, as the last game on the Easter Road slope was played.
The 2013–14 season was Hibernian's fifteenth consecutive season in the top flight of the Scottish football league system, having been promoted from the Scottish First Division at the end of the 1998–99 season. Having lost the 2013 Scottish Cup Final to league champions Celtic, Hibs entered the 2013–14 UEFA Europa League, but suffered a Scottish record aggregate defeat against Swedish club Malmö in the second qualifying round. Hibs also competed in the 2013–14 Scottish League Cup but lost to Heart of Midlothian in the quarter-final at Easter Road. Days after that defeat, manager Pat Fenlon resigned and was replaced with Terry Butcher. Hibs were knocked out of the 2013–14 Scottish Cup in the fifth round by Raith Rovers. A long winless run to finish the 2013–14 Scottish Premiership season meant that Hibs finished in 11th place, and they were relegated after a playoff against Hamilton Academical.
The Summer Cup was a Scottish football competition open to teams in the top division, first of the wartime Southern League from 1940 to 1945 and then of the Scottish League from 1963 to 1965.
