On 17 June 2017, after being involved in match-day squads over the previous two seasons without making an appearance, [3] [4] McCrorie was loaned out to Berwick Rangers. [5] In December 2017, McCrorie signed a contract extension with the Light Blues until May 2022.

On 25 January 2019, McCrorie was loaned to Greenock Morton, alongside fellow Rangers youth player Andy Dallas until the end of the 2018–19 season. [7]

On 4 July 2019, McCrorie went on loan to Queen of the South on a deal that was due to run for the whole of the 2019–20 season [8] but he was recalled by Rangers during January 2020. [9] McCrorie was then loaned out to Scottish Premiership club Livingston until 31 May 2020, [9] making eight appearances for the club. [9]

After signing a new contract at Rangers until 2023, McCrorie returned to Livingston on loan for the 2020–21 season on 9 July 2020. [10]

After a first team debut in the UEFA Europa League against FC Alashkert, McCrorie made his first league start for Rangers against Old Firm rivals Celtic on 29 August 2021. McCrorie kept a clean sheet and made vital saves to help Rangers to a 1–0 victory. [11]

In July 2024, McCrorie signed for Kilmarnock. [12]

[15] McCrorie was selected for the Scotland U17 team in the UEFA under-17 Championship in 2014, [16] where the Netherlands beat in the semi-finals, [17] and 2015, this time with his brother in the squad. [18]

Chosen for the under-21 squad in the 2018 Toulon Tournament, [19] the team lost to Turkey in a penalty-out and finished fourth. [20] He was added to the senior squad for the first time in September 2020.
