Gareth "Gary" McGinnis (born October 21 1963, Dundee, Scotland) is a Scottish former footballer.

Career

McGinnis broke into the Dundee United first team, along with Dave Beaumont, in 1983–84 season, making six 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 season UEFA Cup run on the bench, making four 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 three seasons, but never became a regular and, after seven years at Tannadice, left for St Johnstone in 1990. McGinnis later played in Hong Kong with Happy Valley alongside fellow Scots Ian McCall, Paul Ritchie and Paul Ronald, before finishing his career in English non-league football with Slough Town.

As a youth, McGinnis won the Under-18 European Championship with Scotland in 1982 and reached the quarter-finals of the resulting 1983 Under-20 World Championships.

McGinnis is now a student in London.cite news|url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/article520082.ece|title=Caught in Time: Scotland are European youth champions, 1982|publisher=The Times online|date=May 8 2005]
