Patrick McGinlay (born 30 May 1967) is a Scottish former professional footballer who played as a midfielder and is best known for his two spells at Hibernian.
[2][3][4] McGinlay grew up in the Partick area of Glasgow and was an outstanding schoolboy player, captaining St Peter's Boys School in Partick and playing for St Thomas Aquinas Secondary School in Jordanhill and Bearsden Boys Club.
After two years on the fringes he became an important part of the team under manager Alex Miller, who played McGinlay as a midfielder instead of a forward/winger.
He was in the Hibs side that won the Scottish League Cup in 1991,[2] and went on to make over 150 appearances in his first stint at Easter Road.
However, after just over fifteen months he was on the move again as he was not part of new manager Tommy Burns's plans,[2] in spite of McGinlay being Celtic's top goalscorer in the previous season.
