Career

Early career

McCann began his career with Celtic, where he made one solitary appearance in an end of season game. He then had a 6 month loan spell at St. Johnstone, before heading to Hartlepool for over a year, where he only made 4 league appearances.

t Johnstone

McCann then headed back to St Johnstone in September 2004 where he stayed for 2 years, amassing a total of 41 league appearances.

Clyde

McCann was listed as a trialist in Clyde's third Scottish First Division match of the season, against Dundee, and was signed on a permanent contract a week later. His time at Clyde was interrupted with many niggling injuries, though he did get an extended run in the team from January 2007 onwards, due to other midfielders leaving the club in the January transfer window.

Bohemians

In July 2007, McCann turned down a new contract at Clyde in favour of signing with Irish side Bohemians and scored his first goal for "Bohs" in a 1-1 draw with Drogheda United in August 2007. In November 2007, McCann finished his short spell at Bohemians when it was decided that his contract was not to be renewed.

Queen of the South

He signed for Dumfries club Queen of the South in December 2007 having trained with the club previously.

In March 2008, McCann famously scored from 84 yards [cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/q/queen_of_the_south/7467307.stm|title=Queens midfielder McCann moves on|publisher=BBC Sport|accessdate=June 25|accessyear=2008] for Queens in a 2-0 victory against Dundee to secure their first Scottish Cup quarter final victory since 1950. McCann also played in the 4-3 semi final victory over Aberdeen and in the cup final 3-2 defeat to Rangers. In McCann's time at the club Queens finished 4th in the First Division.

In a four month spell McCann played 20 games for Queens and although he scored only once, the 84 yarder will go down in the history books. On 20th June 2008 the Queens website announced that McCann would be leaving the club. [http://www.qosfc.com/08news.htm]
