United Debut: v. Rangers (H) 0-2 1/10/83.
Signed From: Celtic 10/8/81.
Transferred to: St Johnstone £100,000 8/2/90.
McGinnis broke into
the first team, along with Dave Beaumont, in 1983/84, making 6 appearances
and scored his only goal for the club in a 3-0 League Cup win against
Motherwell at Fir Park. More of a versatile back-up player rather than
a first teamer, McGinnis appeared in some of United's major European games,
playing against Manchester United in the 2nd Leg at Tannadice in 1984,
and spent most of the 1986/87 UEFA Cup run on the bench, making 4 appearances
in the run to the Final. This was probably his best season with United,
playing 25 times. McGinnis played in a handful of games in each of the
next 3 seasons, but never became a regular and, after 7 years at Tannadice,
he left for St Johnstone in 1990.
