[edit] Career

McIntyre began his senior career in England, signing for Bristol City in 1991. While there, he had a loan spell with Exeter City in 1993. Later that year he returned to Scotland, signing for Airdrieonians. In March 1996 he joined Kilmarnock, and went on to be part of the Killie side that won the Scottish Cup in 1997. McIntyre was instrumental in the club reaching the final, having scored the winning goal in the semi-final replay against Dundee United.

In March 1998, McIntyre was transferred to Reading for a fee of £440,000, and the following month appeared for Scotland in a 'B' international against Norway. However, his career at Reading failed to take off, and he was released at the end of his contract in 2001. This led to another return to Scottish football, McIntyre signing for Dundee United in July. Although his initial contract was for a two year period, he twice extended his stay at Tannadice. However, it was announced by United manager Craig Brewster in April 2006 that McIntyre would be free to leave the club at the end of the season.

In July 2006 McIntyre signed for Dunfermline after negotiating a termination of his United contract. He has, however, been affected by a recurrence of a neck injury since joining the club, and is now due to have an operation to correct the problem. This means that his debut for Dunfermline is unlikely to happen until at least December 2006.^[1]
