In April 2008, injuries forced 47-year old Geddes to appear as substitute goalkeeper in the match against Hamilton Academical. Coincidentally, Accies were also forced to name their goalkeeping coach, Brian Potter, as substitute. Potter came on in the 1-1 draw while Geddes - appearing as a trialist - remained unused.
