Gary McDonald

McDonald started his career at Kilmarnock, playing there for five seasons between 2001 and 2006, where he played in 106 league matches, scoring 11 goals. On 18 June 2006, McDonald signed for English League One side Oldham Athletic, becoming John Sheridan's first signing as Oldham manager. On 5 January 2008, McDonald scored from 23 metres (25 yd) in Oldham's 1–0 win over Premier League side Everton in the third round of the FA Cup. Interviewed on Match of the Day after the match, McDonald described the goal as the best of his career. In late April 2008, McDonald agreed a pre-contract to sign for Aberdeen in the summer. On 21 November 2009, McDonald was sent off during Aberdeen's 1–1 draw against Motherwell, shown a second yellow card having removed his shirt after scoring Aberdeen's equaliser. During his second season at Aberdeen, McDonald, along with teammate Mark Kerr was the subject of booing from some Aberdeen fans. McDonald said this didn't bother him, describing it as "water off a duck's back". McDonald left Aberdeen once his contract expired, and he joined fellow SPL club Hamilton Academical on 4 August 2010. On 14 May 2011, he was one of eight players released by Hamilton following their relegation to the First Division. On 23 June 2011, McDonald returned to England, signing for Morecambe of League Two. It was announced on 27 May 2013, that McDonald would be leaving Morecambe after turning down a new contract with the club. McDonald signed for St Johnstone on 13 June…

McDonald has been capped by Scotland at Under-21 level. He was capped in a Scotland B international against Poland, in 2005, at his then club ground, Rugby Park, scoring the opening goal in a 2–0 victory.
