Grant started his career at Cowdenbeath. He made 81 appearances for the Blue Brazil between 1985 and 1988.[2]
His good form earned him a £35,000 move to Airdrieonians in 1988. He spent 3 years with the Diamonds and turned out 79 times in the league for the North Lanarkshire club.[3]
The defender signed for Meadowbank Thistle in 1990 where he made 77 league appearances over the next two years.[4]
