Career

McConalogue began his career with Dundee United and made his debut on the final day of the 1998–99 season, appearing as a substitute in the 2–1 home defeat to Celtic. [1] The following season, McConalogue featured in just under twenty matches, starting in most of the final matches of the season, he scored a hat-trick in a 2000 League Cup tie at the start of the following season and immediately signed a new three-year contract, scoring his first league goal a month later. [2] further goals materialised and McConalogue had a loan spell with Greenock Morton in the early part of 2001. [3]

In November 2001, McConalogue's first appearance for United in just under a year saw him net a last-minute equaliser in a league match away to Dunfermline Athletic [4] but after another dozen appearances that season, McConalogue spent the entire 2002–03 season on loan to Clyde, [5] scoring five goals. Following the end of his loan spell, McConalogue was allowed to leave Tannadice at the end of his contract under new manager Ian McCall [6] and returned to Clyde for another year, scoring seven times. In 2004, McConalogue had a six-month spell with St Johnstone [7] before arriving at Partick Thistle in January 2005, [8] going on to be one of the main parts of the Thistle side which won promotion back to the First Division via the play-off final in May 2006. After two-and-a-half years at Firhill, McConalogue left the club and joined Cowdenbeath in July 2007, [9] and after having a successful loan spell with Stranraer in January 2008 and having mutually agreed his release from Central Park at the end of the 2007–08 season, [10] returned to Stair Park in June 2008 to sign a one-year deal, where he picked up player of the year. [11] McConalogue in 2009 moved to Australia and has since retired from football.

McConalogue has been capped by Scotland from under-15 to under-21 level and remains Scotland's highest capped schoolboy internationalist, also holding the record for goals scored. [12]
