Career
McCahill began his senior career at Boghead playing for Dumbarton and spent nearly five years there, making nearly 150 league appearances for the club. McCahill impressed in a Scottish Cup tie against Celtic in January 1989 and signed for the club a couple of days later.[3]
McCahill made his debut for Celtic on 25 February 1989, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 3–0 win over Dundee at Dens Park.[4] He made a further 4 league appearances for Celtic that season[5] and also played in the Dubai Champions Cup match against Liverpool on 4 April 1989, in which he turned in a highly impressive performance which helped Celtic to a win on penalties after the match had finished 1–1.[6] However, McCahill sustained a fractured jaw in league match against Motherwell on 12 April 1989.[7] McCahill featured rarely for Celtic after that and left on a free transfer to Morton in October 1992.
McCahill played regularly for Morton for the next few years and won a Scottish Second Division league medal in 1995.[8][9]
