Club career

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

Coaching

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

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. McBride followed Mackay to Cardiff City and was appointed first team coach on 30 June 2011.
