Career
McBride started his career with Celtic, but did not make a first team appearance for the club.[1] He moved to Motherwell, initially on loan, and made 63 league appearances for the Fir Park club.[1]
McBride then had a brief spell with Darlington making 6 league appearances and scoring 1 goal. He returned to Scotland with Falkirk in January 2008.[2] McBride had a public dispute with the Falkirk fans towards the end of the 2008–09 season, after the supporters' trust had called for manager John Hughes to be sacked.[3]
McBride was released by Falkirk on 27 June 2009, He then followed Falkirk manager Hughes by signing for Hibernian.[1] He featured in every game for Hibs at the start of the 2009–10 season, forming a midfield partnership with Liam Miller, but was subsequently hampered by a longstanding ankle injury.
On 22 August 2010, McBride was sent off, along with opponent Kyle Lafferty, in a match against Rangers.[4] Manager John Hughes was "bemused" by both red cards.[4] Three weeks later, McBride was temporarily handed the captain's armband, with captain Chris Hogg and vice-captain Ian Murray dropped to the bench for the match against Inverness CT.[5] McBride lost his place in the side after Colin Calderwood was appointed manager.[6]
On 24 March 2011, it was reported by the Edinburgh Evening News that McBride had joined Raith Rovers on a short term deal until the end of the season.[7] During his spell at Raith Rovers McBride was advised that his contract with Hibs will not be renewed.[8]
McBride signed for Hamilton Academical on a short term contract in October 2011.[9] Dundee signed McBride on a short term contract in March 2012, after a successful trial period at the club.[10] He helped Dundee win the 2013–14 Scottish Championship, scoring two goals in 27 appearances.[11] After three seasons with Dundee, McBride left the club by "mutual consent".[12] In July 2015, he signed for Scottish League One side Airdrieonians.[13]
McBride made the decision to retire from playing at the end of December 2015 to concentrate on a coaching role at Airdrieonians.
