Brian Reid (born 15 June 1970 in Paisley) is a Scottish former football player and currently the manager of Philippines U-23.

His lengthy playing career saw him with spells at Greenock Morton (two spells), Rangers, Newcastle United, Burnley, Dunfermline Athletic, Blackpool, Falkirk, Queen of the South and finishing at Ayr United.

He began his management career with his last playing club Ayr United before moving abroad to take charge of Filipino club Global F.C. before his current role.

Playing career

Reid, a central defender, started his career at Morton. After winning the Cappielow club's player of the season award, Reid became Graeme Souness's last signing for Rangers. Reid suffered a cruciate ligament knee injury shortly after signing for the Ibrox club, however, which almost finished his career. Reid was played sparingly for Rangers, who eventually loaned him out to Newcastle United in 1994 but he made no first-team appearances for the St James' Park club.

After returning to Morton in 1996 for two seasons, Reid went on to play for Burnley, Dunfermline Athletic, Blackpool (on loan initially, then signed permanently), Falkirk, Queen of the South and Ayr United.

Coaching career

Reid was appointed manager of Ayr United in October 2007.[1] In his first full season in charge of the Honest Men, Reid took them up to the First Division following play-off victories over Brechin City and Airdrie United;[2] however, Ayr failed to remain in the First Division, finishing bottom, and were relegated after one season.

In the Seasonal playoffs of the 2010-2011 season "The Honest Men" were once again promoted to the first Division after a 2-1 win. Ayr were relegated to the Second Division in 2012 after they lost in the Semi-Finals of the playoffs following a ninth-place finish in the First Division, and Reid's contract was not renewed. It was announced that in the 2012-13 season, he would be replaced by Mark Roberts, who signed for Ayr as a player in January 2009.[3]

In January 2013, Philippine side Global FC acquired Reid to handle the team as part of their participation in the 2013 AFC President's Cup.[4] Global FC is one of the two Southeast Asian clubs in the competition for clubs for "emerging nations" in Asia.

In March 2013, Reid was featured on the official Global FC website where he revealed his life story, football and career experiences. The interview also focused on how he ended up in the Philippines, his plans for the club and other coaching strategies. Global FC is Reid's first coaching job in the international arena.[5]

Reid is also the coach of the Philippine U23 national football team.
