Career

Reid began his career with Hibernian. He played for Hibs in the 2004 Scottish League Cup Final, which they lost 2–0 to Livingston. After being released by Hibs in 2005, Reid joined St. Mirren and helped them win the First Division in 2005–06.

Reid started his career as a striker, playing there during a loan spell at Greenock Morton in 2001. After moving to St. Mirren he was moved to full-back.

In a bid to find regular football, Alan played in a trial match for Morton against Ayr United on 12 July 2008. He subsequently made two substitute appearances as a trialist in league games against Clyde and Airdrie United.

A deal with Morton did not materialise, however, and he appeared for Stenhousemuir later in the 2008–09 season.[1] Reid, along with David van Zanten, appeared on trial for Morton against Partick Thistle in November 2009. After van Zanten signed, Reid continued on trial against Raith Rovers and Airdrie United. Reid signed permanently following the release of Ryan Harding in late November.[2] He was released by Morton at the end of the 2009–10 season.[3]

Queen of the South signed Reid on 22 July 2011.[4] Reid had previously played under Queens manager Gus MacPherson at St. Mirren.[4] His QoS debut was on 23rd July 2011 the extra time 2-0 defeat away at Ayr United in the 2011-12 Scottish Challenge Cup. He came on as a substitute for Craig Reid.[5]
