After a year at Newcastle, McGhee (right) returns to Scotland with Aberdeen, where he becomes a regular scorer for Alex Ferguson's side and wins the Scottish PFA Players' Player of the Year in 1982
The Dons win the 1983 European Cup Winners' Cup, which follows back-to-back Scottish Premier Division titles in 1981 and 1982
McGhee scores as the Dons become the first British club to win the European Super Cup with a 2-0 victory over Hamburg later in 1983
Capped four times for Scotland between 1983 and 1984, McGhee (left) scores twice for his country including this strike against England at Hampden in 1984
A season in Germany with Hamburg follows McGhee's spell with Aberdeen before he joins Celtic in 1985
McGhee wins two more league title with Celtic and ends his spell in Glasgow with a Scottish Cup final triumph against Old Firm rivals Rangers in 1989, seen here celebrating that Hampden victory
After a second spell at Newcastle, McGhee begins his management career at Reading as player-manager in 1991, retiring from playing in 1993. He wins the Division Two title with Reading in 1994 and later that year becomes boss of Leicester, as seen here
Less than a year after joining the Foxes, McGhee moves to Wolves where he spends almost three years, enjoying a run to the FA Cup semi-finals in 1998

After leaving the New Den in 2003, McGhee quickly joins Brighton with whom he wins promotion to the Championship thanks to a play-off victory against Bristol City
Having left Brighton in 2006, McGhee assumes his first managerial post in his homeland with Motherwell in 2007
Months into his reign at Fir Park, Motherwell captain Phil O'Donnell dies tragically during a match and McGhee and assistant Scott Leitch join fans to mourn the loss of the midfielder
Motherwell's impressive form in the Scottish Premier League puts McGhee in the frame for the vacant Scotland manager's job but he loses out to George Burley
The Steelmen secure third spot in the SPL in McGhee's first season in charge and end an absence from European football of 13 years. McGhee is courted for the vacant Hearts job but decides against it at the last minute
