John McGlashan (3 June 1967 – 10 January 2018)[2] was a Scottish football player and manager.

Playing career

In a long professional career, he played for nine clubs.[3] He started his senior career in 1988 with Montrose, scoring some goals from a midfield position.[2] This earned him a £50,000 move to London club Millwall in 1990.[2] After loan spells with Fulham and Cambridge United, McGlashan moved to Peterborough United for £75,000 in 1993.[2] A year later McGlashan moved to Rotherham United, where he stayed for three years.[2] McGlashan returned to Scottish football in the summer of 1997, signing for Dundee.[2] He made 11 appearances and scored two goals as Dundee won promotion to the Scottish Premier League in his first season with the club.[2] Manager Jocky Scott made many changes to the squad after the club was promoted, and McGlashan was loaned to Arbroath and then moved to Ross County.[2] He returned to Arbroath on a permanent basis in August 2000, and he made over 100 appearances in five years there.[2]

Coaching career

McGlashan had a spell as manager of Millwall Lionesses during his time in London.[4]

In the summer of 2005, McGlashan returned to Dundee Violet as player/manager.[2] His father, also John, had been captain of Dundee Violet.[5] In September 2005, Harry Cairney resigned as Arbroath manager and McGlashan was appointed as his replacement.[2][6] The following month McGlashan made himself his first signing, re–registering as a player despite missing most of the previous season with a back injury.[7] He made a further two league appearances for the club, over the next two seasons.[8] He managed Arbroath for four years before resigning in October 2009.[9]

McGlashan later managed Tayport and Dundee Violet.[2]
