He started his career with Rangers, before moving to fellow Glasgow club Partick Thistle on loan for the first half of 2004. He was released by Rangers that summer, and joined Thistle on a permanent transfer in July 2004. This spell lasted 3 years, before he moved to Ireland to play for St Patrick's Athletic in June 2007.
Gibson moved back to Scotland in January 2008, and signed for Partick Thistle's rivals, Clyde.[1] He was signed by John Brown, who coached him during his spell with Rangers. He made his debut in a 3–1 defeat by Stirling Albion on 2 February 2008. Gibson's contract was terminated in June 2009, following Clyde's relegation and financial troubles.[2]
Gibson went on to sign for First Division newcomers Ayr United.[3]
Gibson spent the 2010/11 campaign with Alloa Athletic but was released at the end of the season.
