Ian McCall had two spells with Dunfermline. He joined in 1986 from Queen`s Park and was part of the promotion winning team that took the Pars into the Scottish Premier League.

He was a talented left sided midfielder and was bought by Rangers in late 1987. Ian re-joined Dunfermline Athletic in 1990 for a season before leaving to join Dundee after playing in the 1991 League Cup Final. He played as a wide midfielder.

He began his playing career as a midfielder for Queens Park in 1983, before moving to Dunfermline Athletic, where he played from 1986. Ian enjoyed instant success so much so that Rangers moved to sign him shortly into Dunfermline`s first season in the Premier League.

Despite remaining at Ibrox until 1990, Ian was unable to retain a regular starting place and was transferred to Bradford City for £200,000 before re-joining Dunfermline. His two spells at East End Park saw him make 92 Pars appearances, scoring 15 goals.

His playing career also included spells with Dundee, Falkirk, Hamilton Academical, Happy Valley in Hong Kong and Partick Thistle back in Scotland. His final club as a player was Clydebank where he became player manager during the 1997-98 season.

A successful spell as manager of Falkirk led to Ian twice being offered the manager`s job at Dundee United, which he finally accepted in January 2003. Ian became manager of Partick Thistle in May 2007 staying until April 2011.

After three years out of the game, Ian was appointed manager of Ayr United in January 2015, reaching the promotion play offs in 2018-19 but he left the club in September 2019 to return to Partick as their manager.
