Arbuckle began his career with Celtic, but failed to play a first team game for them.
He then signed for Clyde in the summer of 2004, when he was 19. He made his debut in the 2-1 victory of rivals Partick Thistle, in the opening game of the 2004-05 season. Arbuckle hit a famous wonderstrike in a
Scottish Cup 4th Round replay against Ross County, which sent Clyde through to the Quarter Finals, to meet his former club, Celtic.2005-06 was a very frustrating season for Arbuckle. Under new manager Graham Roberts, he only made 2 league starts and was not offered a new contract at the end of the season, however he was eventually offered a deal by new manager Joe Miller just before the start of the 2006-07 season and played a much bigger role in that campaign. Arbuckle finished the 2006-07 season Clyde's top goalscorer, with 11 league goals.
In July 2007, Arbuckle was listed as a trialist in pre-season games for the fourth year in a row. He was given a one year contract extension.
