Paterson began his career with local side Cove Rangers before winning a £15,000 move to Graeme Souness's Liverpool in March 1992. After two full seasons at Anfield, Paterson spent four years with Bristol City, before embarking on a series of moves around Britain which saw him spend no more than a season at any one club. Between 2001 and 2003, Paterson managed 68 league games for Partick Thistle, which won a move to Dundee United. Although his length of time at Tannadice was similar, Paterson was injured in his second match for the club and spent almost his entire time injured, appearing briefly in the final match of the 2004–05 season. Further short spells in Scotland followed, before Paterson returned to his first club Cove at the start of 2006–07. Paterson went on to be a youth coach at Aberdeen before linking up with former Dundee United colleague Gary Bollan at Livingston in September 2009.[1]
