Playing career

Born in Glasgow, McBride junior started his career with Everton in the late 1970s, and he scored on his debut for the club, against Bolton.[3] After spells with Rotherham and Oldham, McBride signed for Hibernian in 1985.[4] McBride's new manager was John Blackley, who had played with McBride's father for Hibs during the late 1960s and early 1970s.[3] His most significant contribution for Hibs was scoring two goals in an Edinburgh derby at Tynecastle.[3] McBride subsequently had spells with Dundee, East Fife, Albion Rovers, Livingston and Hamilton.

Coaching career

McBride became a coach during his time at Albion Rovers, and was made caretaker manager when Jimmy Crease resigned as manager in December 1995.[5] He subsequently became a youth coach at Celtic, developing players including Aiden McGeady, and Cillian Sheridan.[6] A reorganisation of Celtic's coaching staff in 2008 meant that McBride left the club.[7]

McBride subsequently assisted Willie McStay at Újpest FC in Budapest, Hungary and in June 2010, joined Watford as a youth coach, working under the management of fellow Scot Malky Mackay.[8] McBride followed Mackay to Cardiff City and was appointed first team coach on 30 June 2011.

On 3 October 2014, McBride was named as Hibernian under-20 player development coach.[9]

As of 2018, he was the dedicated coach for the Scottish Football Association's Performance Schools project based at Holyrood Secondary School in south Glasgow.[10]
