He played three times for Scotland under-23s^[2][4] and was in consideration for the full squad prior to the 1958 FIFA World Cup, playing in a trial match between a Scottish Football League XI team and a Scottish Football Association team;^[5] however shortly afterwards he suffered a knee injury which ruled him out at a crucial time.^[1]

Either side of his eight-year senior spell at Falkirk,^[6] he played for hometown team Forres Mechanics in the Highland League and also managed the club,^[1] leading them to a Scottish Qualifying Cup win soon after his arrival (the only time they claimed the trophy).^[7] In later life he alternated between the towns in various business ventures, particularly the development of public houses.^[1][2]
