Club career

Falkirk

McGeever joined Falkirk in the summer of 2012, making his first team début in the Scottish Football League First Division against Dumbarton on 20 October 2012. [4] On his second start for the club, McGeever earned the ire of Partick Thistle boss Jackie McNamara for a "shocking" challenge on Thistle's Stuart Bannigan. [5]

In January 2013, McGeever signed a new three-and-a-half year contract with Falkirk, tying him to the club until 2016. [6]

Peterhead (loan)

McGeever joined Scottish League Two side Peterhead on a season-long loan on 22 August 2013. [7] His Peterhead debut came two days later, in the 2–2 draw against Elgin City. [8] McGeever made nine appearances in all competitions for the club. [8]

Arbroath (loans)

On 31 March 2014, McGeever signed for Scottish League One club Arbroath on loan until the end of the 2013–14 season. [9]

On 8 January 2015, McGeever returned to Arbroath for a second loan spell. [10]

Queen's Park

On 7 August 2015, McGeever signed for Queen's Park, returning to the club three years after first leaving. [11] [12]

Brechin City

After impressing in his performances for Queen's Park during the 2016–17 season, McGeever subsequently signed for recently promoted Scottish Championship club Brechin City on 12 June 2017. [13]

Dumbarton

McGeever joined Scottish League One side Dumbarton in July 2019 [14] where he became an ever-present for the Sons, scoring five times in 33 games. He extended his deal with the club until the summer of 2021 in July 2020. [15] After another impressive season at the Rock, he turned down offers from elsewhere to sign a new two-year deal with the Sons in May 2021 – despite the club not having a manager in place at the time. [16] He was named the Sons' captain in June 2022 - replacing Stuart Carswell in the role. [17] He left the club in the summer of 2023 to pursue a teaching career in Dubai [18] [19] after a short spell with Broomhill. [20]

Clyde (loan)

After struggling for game-time as he recovered from a long-term injury, McGeever moved to Scottish League One side Clyde on loan in February 2023 - with Peter Grant going in the opposite direction. [21]
